Private Property MORE INFO >>> Trails and rock walls and terraces have been beautifully constructed on this private enclave. The owner, Ira Sachs, however, welcomes responsible and respectful climbers on these walls when there are no private events being held on the property grounds. Please be discreet and ask for permission while passing through the gate. Many private parties, weddings, and gatherings are held here. When this is the case, out of respect for the people paying for privacy at these events, it is best not to traverse through the property to access the Pharoah's Hat or other climbs in the Pharoah's Glen area. The honor and privaledge to access this area is NOT a right, and certainly will be revoked if abused. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Pitch #1: From the ground trend left across the steepening slab to the first bolt. Continue past 4 more bolts to the ledge (same ledge which offers belay anchors for the only other two routes on this wall to the right) and a two-bolt belay. 5.8, 20m

Pitch #2: Tricky and somewhat sandy (or lichen?) moves propel the climber off the ledge up the blunt arete. Belay at the pinnacle like top at a two-bolt belay. 5.7, 30m

Location 

This starts at the Hindu Shrine statue at the head of the rock stairs, just to the left of Bill Foster's bolted route BILL'S FAIRWELL EPIC...these bolts have seen some weather corrosion, but seem still quite secure.
Rappel the route.

Protection 

QDs and a few medium size Camalots may be useful.
2 x two bolt belay stations with chains.
