Me and the wife (Wendy) climbing Trezlar


Description 

Trezlar is the awesome dihedral on the left hand side of the crag.
Pitch 1:
Climb the mangy lower section of the dihedral (5.7) or climb Cosmos (10a sport) for the first Pitch and traverse over from the top (much better)

Pitch 2:
Classic stemming and jamming up the impressive dihedral for 100+ feet.

Rap from the top of Pitch two with double ropes.


Location 

Left of Screaming Yellow Zonkers and Cosmos


Protection 

Doubles from thin up to 3". Hexes would actually work well on this.

We did Cosmos to Trezlar. This is definitely the way to go, as the first pitch of Trezlar looks like crap.

After climbing Cosmos, clip the Cosmos anchor and make an easy traverse to the base of the 2nd pitch of Trezlar. You'll need to build an anchor for this belay (small gear).

Trezlar is classic, fun stemming that goes from big hands (#3 camalot size) to fingers. No move is very hard, but it is wickedly continuous for the grade.

There is a scary flake that you can't avoid about half way up the pitch. It is cracked on all four sides. I don't want to be there when that thing goes... it'll go right on your belayer :( The flake gave me the creeps and definitely lessened the quality of the pitch for me.

The top anchors are quite a bit more "climber's right" than I expected.

We rapped with 2 ropes, but a 70m rope would get you to the Cosmos anchors. And then you could rap again from there. I would do that next time.

Yup - had same thoughts.

I've led this route. My wife led this route. We're done - never going back to it.
