Ben leading the last pitch of Hatch.


Description 

On the Southern Dinosaur Egg in Bear Canyon. Climb up a wide, low-angle chimney for the first pitch from the N end of the rock. Belay from a huge chockstone then up the steeper face to the summit. The second pitch is the crux and more asthetic than the first. Descent: Rappel 70ft. from the bolts for "Sneak Preview" on the S end of the summit. Nice position on the second pitch.


Protection 

Minimal rack (a few small cams, hexes, stoppers)
