Details
Yosemite National Park has yearly closures for Peregrine Falcon Protection March 1- July 15. Always check the NPS website at nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/… for the most current details and park alerts, and to learn more about the peregrine falcon, and how closures help it survive. This page also shares closures and warnings due to current fires, smoke, etc.
Description
Slasher is nice mixed bolt and gear climb on great stone. The first pitch is well-protected by bolts, and makes for a really nice pitch to do on its own if you are not up to leading some of the other nearby routes that have slightly more runout climbing. However, nothing in Tuolumne is a given; be prepared to climb 10-15 feet of slab to get to the first bolt.
Pitch 1: Climb on clean rock past 9 bolts (5.9; 90 feet).
Pitch 2: Climb up and left, past three bolts (5.9), to a large flake and a gear placement. Climb to the top of the flake on easy knobs (short runout) to another gear placement. Continue past the top of the flake up a short section of face moves to an arching, right-facing corner that takes gear (5.8?). There is one bolt midway up the corner that replaces a fixed piton that was placed on the FA. From the top of the corner, traverse to the right, to a 2-bolt anchor.
Pitch 3: (5.10d) goes up and right from the belay and consists of face climbing on thin edges with a few mantels interspersed (9 bolts).
All three belay anchors have two bolts with chains. Rap the route with two ropes or a single 70m rope.
Location
The approach trail deposits you at the white slab that contains several routes, including Metalhead. To find Slasher, keep going up and left past the first white slab. Slasher begins from a ledge just above the base, on the left side of a right-leaning corner/arch (see beta photo). Overviews of both Slasher and Flash of the Blade (including all of their belays) are shown in the 'Razor Back, right side routes' beta photo courtesy of Bryan Law.
