Featured Route For North Whizz Dome
Going through the thin flaring jams up to the intermediate belay. I pumped out and fell on lead, but it is a beautiful climb.

P1. I would have to disagree with the topo as far as where the crux is. I felt the true crux was at about 20 feet with its flared thin hands, rattly fingies and polished layback. Its a little hard/pumpy to pro. Skip the obvious bolted anchor (its a good shake-out) and continue through a second crux of 10+ and cool stemming and finger locks. (These ratings apply to 6' male...Switch the crux sections around if you are shorter and have small hands)....[more]   Browse More Classics in CA
