Description Suggest change

Mr. Pitiful is a pretty good, little route that starts in a left-facing dihedral formed by a small pillar. Scramble up, move left and clip a bolt after a roof of sorts. Follow several more bolts straight up on pleasant, slab climbing with good edges, friction, and crystals. The rock is slightly friable in places, so be a bit careful.

The climbing is pretty fun as it seems that there is always a good stance close by.

Make your way up to a tree growing out of a crack. This tree usually has webbing, but it might be old webbing. If you don't like the tree, you can climb about 15' higher to a ledge, and scramble across it to the right. After about 30' you will run into the bolted anchor at the top of 'Geek Crack' and 'Illusion Chain'.

Location Suggest change

Approximately 60% to 70% of the way to the right of the buttress. Snake Buttress is naturally split into 4 parts and this part would be the 3rd to the right. Look for a left-facing dihedral that is formed by a 20' spike of rock leaning against the slab.

Protection Suggest change

Primarily bolts (bring about 8 or 10 draws), and perhaps a light rack with wires to tight hands. The dihedral at bottom is bigger, but I don't remember as it was pretty easy. You can scope this part easily from the ground.
