Scott Nomi in the long corner.


Description 

A must-do classic right around the corner from Pratt's Crack. Follow a huge, clean-cut dihedral, jamming (hands) all the way up to a chimney move or two, then step right on a small ledge to the anchors.


Location 

Pratt's Crack Area, on the right side.


Protection 

Up to 3". Need two ropes for rap.

Getting a bit of a rest.  Sort of.  Well, not really.

The Bishop guide book calls for a 6" piece, but I couldn't find anywhere to place it. Extra 2-3" cams are useful.

Beautiful climb. Small stuff towards the end of the long corner.

Re: the 6 inch piece the first commentator didn't place -- it very nicely protects the crux lieback move. Alternatively, or in addition, once you start the lieback (and well above your last gear) you can get 2" piece (gold C4) high and deep in a recessed crack behind the block your hands are on.
