Description
This great 5.7 climb is very popular, so plan ahead.
The Something Interesting access trail is about a 6-min. walk from the Uberfall, or a 2-min. walk from where the East Trapps Connector Trail meets the carriage road. At the cliff, walk left to get to the start, below a long crack about 30' right of Three Pines.
P1: Follow a right-leaning finger crack to a bulge with a large reach. Continue on the fun face and cracks above to the GT ledge. 5.7+, 140'.
Rappel 140' or continue w/ P2...
P2: Climb a left-facing dihedral behind the missing pine tree to a the larger right-facing dihedral above. Follow this to a bolt anchor. 5.7+, 90'.
Rap with one rope using the bolted stations between Three Pines and Something Interesting.
It's funny, this route was very reminiscent of some 5.9+/5.10- routes in other areas. In any case, this climb is incredible. A few doubles in the #3-6 Rock range are useful, but not required. Do this route.
