BETA PHOTO: The east face of Wilbur's Tombstone.


Description 

Located on the right side of the slabby east face and identifiable by a bolt about 20' up.

Wander up the slab past some gear placements to the aforementioned high bolt, continue up the smooth slab above and then pull a roof near the top (5.8) to finish on a sloping ledge with chains.

Originally done as a runout climb without bolts, it was later retro-bolted with five bolts; three are all that remain.


Protection 

3 bolts, gear to 2", chain anchors

It would seem the crux is really getting to the anchors past the last bolt. Not much to hold on to as you traverse left.
