Comments: For fuller value, crank mantle with a stogie/cig jauntily dangling from the lip. My thumb still hurts 16 years later from mantling and stepping on it. Don't get sandbagged by the 5.10 on the above comment, it's solid "10+" imo and would be 5.11a in most areas....

Comments: "One note of caution (whether or not you’re camping): there have been numerous car break-ins at the parking lot over the years. The best way to avoid being a victim is to not leave anything of value in your vehicle."


FWIW, Crashpad hostel is open and a great place to stay and maybe even meet people to hit the T-Wall...

Comments: I think its about 12c and has a pretty loose large hold (flake) which is hard to avoid about 4 bolts past the HOTR anchors.

Comments: From my dim memory, the crux is about mid-height, maybe 4thish bolt, with easier climbing above. Kind of spooky, whipping onto the arete. A great climb!
