Climbing is typical Camelback clmbing P1 - Start about 130 feet right of Pedricks Chimney in trough - Easy climbing past bolt to large two bolt belay 5.0 P2 Continue up to an overhang, and climb left to chimney section. Can protect long runout with #2 if you feel the need. P3 Traverse right around the corner into class 3 gulley and to the base of the 60 foot friction pitch - i bolt(?) P4 Climb 5.2 face past 2 bolts to top Rap off Pedricks chimney
Location
South of the Monk - Obvious start to the right of Pedricks...
Protection
One bolt on each pitch with good anchor at P1 and a good tree at P2. Pitch three has 2 bolt anchor Used a couple BD cams in crack leading to Chimney for fun and practice...Newbies may find this helpful for the runout.
I just wanted to thank whoever decided to take the gear that I left on pitch three to assist those who followed me with the rappel off of this route. I thought since only climbers went up there that there may be a slight chance in hell that whoever went up there might actually leave it there for others. guess it just goes to show that people are still just people...
By the way, the bees are active and out - they are located in the hive to the left of the beginning of the third pitch...
I was talking with Rogil today about the bees on this route and I thought it might be helpful to post some additional information on where the bees live. She mentioned the beehive is located before starting the final pitch. Before you get to the final pitch, you walk up a gully. Just as you start walking up the gully, if you look up and a little left you should be able to see the beehive. It looks like a big stain on the wall. (thanks for the beta Rogil!)
