Description
If a better 2nd pitch could be contrived, this route might be worth doing.
P1: Up the corner and the crack system on the right wall; follow the right wall crack system right; when it ends, traverse harder right under a headwall to a left-facing corner and crack system. Up this to belay on adequate ledges. 180’. P2: Step off a block to gain the wide crack; follow this and the crack/weakness above. Face climb to and through an awkward, right-leaning alcove/corner system. Then up and right, eventually stepping right into a major, right-facing corner system. Tiptoe up blocks in the corner to the roof and step right to an adequate belay. 100’ P3: Up, slightly left, through the wide weakness in the roofs. Follow orange rock and perhaps a right-facing corner to the spacious ledge system that cuts across the face at 2/3 height. P4: Traverse left on the ledge and then up and back right to gain the upper, major, left-facing crack/corner system. Up this to an adequate belay beneath the wide section. 80’ P5: Up the (often) wide crack/corner. When it ends, belay on the right below a slabby face. 80’ P6: Up the slabby face, slightly right, and up along its right edge. Up through overlaps to easier ground, trees, etc. to the jumbled fell field at the top. 150’
