Hill at the crux...


Description 

This fun route is much better than it looks from the ground and protects well. From the bottom of the West Bench the route climbs to the top of the second pinnacle on the right most side of the rock, just up and left from the eye bolt at the top of the West Bench. Start with Slot from the bottom of the West Bench and climb to near the top of that route before moving left into steeper climbing. Climb a steep corner with a thin crack and good face holds. This section sews up with small stoppers. Continue up being careful of slightly friable rock and lichen covered holds until you reach the eye bolt on the top of the Pinnacle. Either rap with one rope to the eyebolt atop the West Bench or to the ground with two ropes.


Protection 

Many small stoppers and cams up to #3 Camalot.
