Prune 

The Prune is a 4 pitch route that can be done in two long pitches with a 60m rope. It goes all the way to the top of Back To The Front.

P1: 5.6 Rish. 60 feet. From the ground climb towards tree on ledge above getting gear where you can, not necessarily everywhere.

P2: 5.7. 60 feet. Best pitch of the route. Behind the belay, climb a steeper pitch up cracks with the crux of the route coming in the last 15 feet before Old Man's Traverse Ledge and the belay. A number of folks have broken an ankle on the small ledge below the crux by failing to adequately protect this final crack. Belay from large pine tree on Old Mans Traverse Ledge

P1 and 2 can easily be linked with a 60m rope and a standard Seneca rack.

P3 and P4: 5.6ish. Climb the easier ground behind the belay tree and left of the face above you. I have never done this as 2 seperate pitches but the guide calls it 2. You want to use a few long slings to avoid rope drag. These pitches are obscure, fun and guaranteed to never have a line!

Descend as for Back To The Front

Actually, P3 and P4 should be done separately.

P3: Best way (in my opinion) is to climb the left facing corner system/flake directly behind the belay atop P2 (book says the original route goes on the right side); long slings helpful here. Follow the obvious crack system up. If you don't want to do P4, you can end the pitch at the pine tree on the left. Otherwise, continue up and right past left-facing corner to a tree and a good ledge. (5.6)

P4: Climb the huge flake/chimney system directly above the belay ledge to the top. (5.7)

You can sling a large part of the flake on the top for your anchor. Descent will require you to traverse between the flakes to the ledge on the other side (top of Le Gourmet P4). There is block that usually has slings and a rap ring. Be sure to bring bail gear just in case. This rappel puts you on the summit ledge.

It's been an awfully long time, but I do remember this route pretty vividly because it was on P2 that I had my first lead fall and it was on a stopper, not a pin. So I am a little confused about "The Prune Incident" because my incident was ca 1983 and there were zero pins on that pitch, at least as well as I can remember. Maybe the pins were put in sometime after that...?
