Description 

This classic three pitch trad line represents the first excursion up the West face of The Headstone proper. Begin to the right of Topaz and climb to the top of a left-facing corner system and belay on a ledge. Step left to the face and beware a huge loose block (crux). Wander up the line of least resistance. The last pitch is short often climbing the wall right of the chimney.


Protection 

Standard rack. Fixed anchors at belays.

Excellent climbing. Hail stricken after the first pitch though. I would like to go back and finish it next season.
