Description P1- Climb up lower-angled terrain right of a prominent waterstreak. Aim for the system of finger-sized cracks/roofs above. Undercling out and pull a couple of bulges (crux) to a fixed belay at two bolts. 5.9, 100'. P2- Climb up a small right-facing corner to a bolt, move right on thin holds (crux) and pull a bulge. Climb steeper terrain on huge holds to the top. 5.10a, 40'. NOTE: As with most routes here, the pitches can be linked if most pro is clipped long.
Location Route is more or less in the middle of Ship Rock's main tier. Look for a dead tree at the base. The fixed belay can be spotted from below.
Protection Take gear up to a #2 Camalot.

| The route description and the photo of the climber on pitch two of this route seems a little different than what's in the Lambert/Shull guide, at least what the picture would suggest. Pg 100 shows a climber heading up through the "steep crux" (an overhang) rather than through thin holds on the right. Is this a variation? Looks like folks can take either the left side of the corner for the overhang or the right side for a thin crux - or perhaps both are correct and one ends up moving back right after the overhang? Anyone have any beta on this? |

| Nick, The climb is pretty obvious once you're there. From the P2 belay go straight up clipping a bolt...mabye...~8' off the belay. All you do is follow the obvious line up and to the right. The crux is in the corner after the bolt. Right hand goes wayyyy out to your right and there is a huge jug just after the roof. It's really a one move wonder and the pro is a bomber bolt. Don't worry...it's obvious where to go. I'll post a series pic of the crux here in a sec. Do the route...you won't be sorry. :) ~Josh |

| Finally made it out for the lead and I completely agree. For me the crux was not bad at all, although the sort of runout first pitch did get my heart racing a bit. Wandering, manky rock down low, then no gear on that slabby bit until the roof, then you get a tiny C3 pocket! At least the moves to that point weren't too bad. Top pitch was a breeze, although it looks intimidating. |
