Do not cross the pipe by the pumphouse. MORE INFO >>> Little Cottonwood Access Update Despite "no trespassing" signs climbers have been observed crossing the creek on the pipe at the traditional (pumphouse) parking for the Pentapitch/Coalpit areas. This pipe crossing is dangerous and a slip could be fatal. This area is privately owned and the SLCA has a positive relationship with the landowner. The bridge near Lisa falls is the preferred location to cross the creek. Down-canyon, the bridge leading to the south side near the Buzz bouldering area has been condemned by the Forest Service. Signs have been posted promising fines for tresspassers. We ask that you obey these signs and find an alternate route to your destination. 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 

The 2nd pitch var. to Snakepit, this short technical corner eats up the small stuff. At the lip make some funky maneuvers to get around the tree, from there make some truly exiting moves to get back to the Snakepit.

Location 

This avoids the worst ropedrag pitch on the Snakepit (3rd), and you don't have to do that committing step out move to the flake. But you do have to make some committing slab moves to re-gain the Snakepit.

Protection 

Small stuff; nuts & cams, slings helpful
