BETA PHOTO: Goofed on Skunk Weed is the crack, the face to the...


Description 

Climb atop a small ledge 10 ft up (probably the crux), be aware of the loose rock on the right. Follow the finger to hand sized crack to the anchors. In addition to the crack there are many small ledges. Although it is bolted as a sport route, this route protects very well traditionally if you skip the bolts.

  • RCM&W #106, p. 135.


Location 

This route lies in a corner left of Two Tone Zephyr about 200 yards to the right from the top of the approach trail.


Protection 

Bolts to an anchor or for the traditionally minded nuts, hexes, and cams to handsized. Please use your own hardware for top roping whenever possible.

Nice Trad lead. Use a 00 TCU to protect the "mount-the-ledge-move" at the bottom then it is good nut and small cam placements to the top. I used a #4 camalot near the top where the cracks split. Remember it is bad form to use the two holes and to clip the chains before standing on the ledge.
