Description An easy face climb, passing many horizontals.
Approach: Use the access trail that heads up just where there Stairmaster reaches the Carriage Trail, a 4-minute walk from the Uberfall. At the cliff, walk left and locate Arch, a prominent rock arch above the East Trapps Connector Trail. Ribs starts at the prominent, hanging arete well below the right side of the arch.
P1: Gain the large arete from the side, then traverse over to the middle of the face on the right. Climb nearly a straight line up to the GT ledge, with one or two overhang moves just before the finish. 5.5, 130'. You can also stop at the bolted rap station at 80'; this is a common toproping spot for beginners and guided groups.
Descent: There are bolted rap stations at both 80' and the GT ledge.
Protection Cams of all sizes in horizontals. Pass one bong and rap chains midway up.
easy face climbing, relaxed and fun.

| This climb goes straight up a rappel highway. Wear a helmet. The ledges above have loose rock and even a soft rope can hurt when it's tossed from 100'. Just ask my wife... |

| There is a VERY LARGE and VERY LOOSE rock about 5 ft below the GT ledge rappel station. |

| The first pitch was a good face climb. Rappelers should exercise caution and practice etiquette. We had no problems today but can easily see how it could get out of hand. The climb veers you slightly right naturally, and that's in direct line with the rappel route. |

| We did this as two pitches to the GT. the second half of the climb past the chains was nothing special and we'll probably just stop at the chains next time. |

| Both pitches eat tricams. Feet are all there, you just need to look :) The first ledge you rap onto from the 2nd pitch has a rock (2 ft wide x 1 ft high) just chilling there. VERY LOOSE! Be careful. |

| I just don't like this climb. There, I said it. (I don't know why I don't like it) |
