Description 

A super-fun, bolted route with quality rock throughout. Seven pitches, all of which are at least 5.10a.

Bob Kerry's description of the route can be found at http://www.climbaz.com/Backcountry/page_html/page298.html

A detailed topo for this route can be downloaded at http://www.geir.com/climbs.html


Location 

Starts in the gully on the far right side of the Sheepshead. The start of the climb has a 10c roof/bulge protected by two bolts. Look for a right-angling line of bolts headed up a 100' slab.

See the link to Kerry's online guide (above) for further details.


Protection 

All bolts, all cruxes well-protected. Even so, you should have a significant amount of multipitch experience before attempting this route. Due to the wandery nature of this route, retreat would be difficult after the first pitch, even with two ropes.
