Description
This route climbs the giant right trending ramp system just to the left of choir boyz, a keen eye can see it from where you park. This is a blue collar adventure route that requires some tricky anchors and a ton of physical climbing.
P1 5.10 130’ Start up on the left side of the big triangular ramp, easy scrambling gets you up into a tight-ish chimney, easy chimney up to a wide hands roof. The crack starts hands, goes down to good fingers and widens to fist, then an easy OW move (didn't need a 6 here but it was nice to have) to the ledge. Gear anchor.
P2 5.10+ 210’ Only real looseness on the route, and its pretty loose, but easy with ok gear. If a couple more people trundle a bit itll clean up great. Head up the looseness and accross a decomposing ledge to the good chimney. Secure squeeze chimney up to a roof protected by a #5, stemming options make the move less physical. Great featured fist crack with increasingly good supplemental holds stretches your rope and brings you to an alcove. Small nuts and micro cam belay on the right wall.
P3 5.8 80’ Easy stem box protected with small cams, mantle a chockstone and an easy wide hands crack leads to a huge ledge. #4 belay.
P4 5.10 70’ We scrambled over to the p4 anchor for choir boyz and rapped off here, looks like plenty options to summit. The number 4 crack straight up looks moderate or climb p5 of choir boyz.
Descent: Whether you summit or not, rap choir boyz with a single 70m rope
