Description

P1 5.7, 120'. Climb either side of the small boulder and enter a minor, shallow, grass-filled dihedral 20' left of the huge corner/chimney. The grass gives way to gravel in the crack, which can be managed with easy stemming. After 60', look for short cracks and face holds that shift your direction slightly left, leading to the ledge below the wide crack. Insecure rock makes for a thoughtful end to this pitch.

P2 5.7+, 90': Head up the wide crack—no OW technique required. Protection is good, and the climbing is very enjoyable. After 40', the climbing eases and meanders a bit. Belay 15' below the crest.

P3 5.6, 60': Find the easy path to the bolted arête. Climb up the edge for 40'until flat blocks provide a good belay, shared with the SW Spur.

Location

150' to the right of the start of the SW Spur, where the Sandpiper Ledge holds the largest stand of trees. A low-angle slab with an east-facing aspect rises 250' to join the arête just below the start of P3 on the SW Spur.
