Desert Sweet

5.9, Trad, 40 ft (12 m),  Avg: 3 from 1 vote
FA: unknown
California > Eastern Sierra > June Lake Area > Triple Cracks

Description

Climb the corner crack up through a couple of bulges. It protects well and is probably the best trad lead at this crag. There are bolts and rap rings at the top and it could be top roped by scrambling around. Bring long slings to extend the anchor since it is far back. The bushes growing to the right of the route are called Desert Sweet or Fernbush.

Location

This is on the left crag and goes up the prominent dihedral.

Protection

Bring a single rack from BD .2 - #3 or equivalent. Bolted anchor with rap rings.
