2. The south end of the First Corridor is in danger of collapsing at the base of Sophie’s Choice. A dam of rocks and soil has been built to divert water away from the eroding soil underneath these huge boulders. Please help keep this system in place until a more permanent solution is implemented.
Description
Mellow slab paddling to a roof 25 feet from the ground. Once over the roof more slab paddling between widely spaced bolts to the P1 anchor. It's mostly much easier than 5.7. I call it "sustained 5.2." This route is not a sport climb. It's an adventure route, which means the bolts are widely spaced. Designed to be a direct line to the summit. Expect 20 to 30 ft run outs up high. Lots of ways to get down if you know the area.
