2009 Closure Map Submitted By: Amy Ansari on Jun 15, 2009
BETA PHOTO: A hand drawn topo of Spam Sandwhich. B=belay.
Description
Starts up a slab just to the right of Knapsack. Clip the bolt then follow the crack to the ledge and up between two bushes to the fixed pins.... belay here. (Pitch two) Move up and ever so slightly left following cracks and hidden gear placements to a bolt that protects a short traverse into some cracks. Move up under a small roof (look for the pin) then climb strait up thin cracks and dikes to another bolt. Follow the thin cracks up past a few more small bulges to another bolt then move up and left to easier climbing up a flake and make a gear anchor where you can. A short easy pitch leads to the top.
Location
Right of Knapsack. Just look for the bolt on the slab.
