BETA PHOTO: Rapping off of the summit.


Description 

Pitch 1: Climb sandy fingers and face for 15' and then tight hands in a left facing corner. Pass the offwidth to a couple of drilled angles and loose I-bolt.

Pitch 2: Move right off the belay and make 5.7 moves on soft rock to the top of the formation and clip a bolt. Walk right to the edge of the formation and either lower or down climb 6' of exposed class 4 to a small ledge. Reach across the chasm to the detached tower (great exposure) and clip the first pin of a six bolt ladder. Aid up the bolt ladder to a horizontal #1 camalot placement above the last pin and grovel to two drilled angles. This is a very nice summit with great views and definitely worth the first 10' of mank on pitch 1.


Location 

Opposite from Future Reference inside Devil's Kitchen landform.


Protection 

Pitch 1: Stoppers, (BD) (2)#0.75, #2, #4. QD if you want to clip the sketchy 1/4 inch bolt.
Pitch 2: 1 bolt, 6 fixed pitons and a #1 BD. 60 meter rope for rap.
