Taking the right K-crack

Everything I took up Pingora! Our first time to the winds and I was glad to have it all!

Gokul, on the K crack

Follow cracks through two ledges and pass a tiny roof. Follow a flaring crack for ~20' and traverse right into a book. Pass a rap station and traverse left on a hand crack. Follow book to K-Crack.

Notice the obvious K-Cracks.

First belay anchor atop short first pitch. From here you can easily get to base of long dihedral pitch in one wandering pitch.
