Description Suggest change

Pitch 1: Climb up past three bolts to an easy chimney. Belay on above the chimney. 110' 5.7.

Pitch 2: Climb past 2 more bolts (crux), pass a hueco that takes a #3 camalot, and belay on a nice ledge. There is one built and a stuck red cam connected by some slings 70' 5.9-.

Walk up the ridge past the rappel anchor, which consists of a bolt and wired bolt with multiple slings and one ring. "Natural boullard" anchor is shaved down.

Pitch 3: Continue to the summit, passing a pin drilled pin, and some sandy rock. Summit anchor consisted of a stopper and a slung horn. 50'(from the bollard) 5.7.

We linked pitches 1 and 2 with little drag.

Descent: Do one long rappel down the east face off the natural bollard.

Location Suggest change

Scramble up to the SW corner of the ridge. Traverse east on a slab for 15-20 feet to the first bolt.

Protection Suggest change

Single set of cams is more than enough. All we placed were a #2 and #3 camalot), two sixty meter ropes.
