Description Suggest change

Impressive looking buttress.  The 5.4 regular way climbs inside the loose looking corner to an obvious traverse right to the nose, the crux.  The corner is pretty stable rock.  Step around the corner and weave up and right to a really cool ledge.  There is some loose rock approaching the ledge.  Apparently this is a belay.  However, the only gear available is at your feet.  There is a huge block that rocks that might be fine to throw a big sling over; I'll leave that up to the interested student.  I was rope-soloing and just stepped around the end of this belay ledge and climbed very lichen covered rock to the top.

There is a better looking 5.6 variation start, a couple of feet to the right of the big corner, climb directly up to where the regular route comes around the corner.  Looks like tying off the tree, that will kind of be in the way, would be great for gear.

Location Suggest change

Start below a large white, left facing corner 55 feet right of the Dick's Prick pinnacle, just as the trail drops down to Wegetables.

Protection Suggest change

Regular rack to 2" and a few long slings will help. I back cleaned the entire corner. Beefed up the rap anchor on a tree to the right. *** Be careful rappelling straight off. 70m doubled might be short. It got me back to the base of the route. But going straight down, the ground drops away quickly and the rope might be short.  Please, put knots in the ends of your rope.
