  • Description 

    Wonderful trad climbing with a blocky corner, a fantastic splitter and an ending that ain't over till that large woman sings.

    P1 Climb the blocky corner to a large ledge and move left to belay.

    P2 Move up the fantastic splitter, exiting right through a steep notch. Double bolt anchor.


    Location 

    Located about midways down lower Hawksbill at a left facing corner.


    Protection 

    Tcu's, stoppers, camalots to gold.

    If you belay at P1, a #3 and #4 camalot would be great for the belay, otherwise you will burn a bunch of TCU's.

    It's possible to lead this in a single pitch as well. At least that way you won't have to make a belay and burn a bunch of gear. On the down side you're belayer might not be able to see you. I don't remember it being to hard to get good gear off the ledge.
