Looking down the entire route from P2 belay/rap st...
Description
This is a good route to try on a busy weekend day when all the popular routes have waiting lines.
Start 150' right of Madame G's buttress at two short left-facing corners capped at 10' by an overhang. This is 25' left of Bitchy Virgin's corner. About a 10-minute walk from Uberfall.
P1: Starts with a little overhang 10' up. From there it is a straight up face climb. 5.5, 90'.
P2: Negotiate around right-facing flakes to the GT Ledge. 5.5, 90'.
P3: 30' and not worth it.
This climb isn't done all that often, so it has some grass on the bigger ledges and lichen here and there. Some flakes are a bit thin, so climb gently.
Protection
Can be a bit runout in sections. Placed mostly cams in horizontals and avoided placing pro behind flakes. Rap slings 180' up.
Decent route if you're looking for a little adventure feel. Kind of dirty, no chalk highway, no fixed pro, tenuous flakes. Aside from first 10', climb is very much in your favor (either straight up or less than vertical). Good to try on a busy weekend day when all the popular routes have waiting lines.
