PSOM slab. April 2010

Description 

"Palisade School of Mountaineering Slab"

A large slab of white granite broken by countless cracks, seams, and ledges, with both blank and featured faces to test your friction skills on.

The angle of the PSOM is pretty mellow for the most part, but many other sections can be found of varying steepness. A handful of lines on the left side of the slab have been put up recently.

This is another area with only a bundle of established lines. Few of the climbs are more than one or two pitches, and on a slab of around 700 feet or so, it doesn't take a genius to realize the potential higher up.
