Description
Pitch one: Climb the large chimney (one bolt at the ground)just left of the center of the face to a belay in the cave at the top (one belay bolt, 100'). Pitch 2: Go right out of the cave and climb a crack to an anchor on the ledge above(40'). Pitch 3: Climb the varnished face out and left past many bolts to summit (100'). Bolted anchor on top. Rap the route, 2 ropes needed.
Second pitch is short but fun toe jamming up a crack. Exit cave to the right on a face. Offset cams would be helpful here.
Pitch 3 $$$$. Exciting face climbing past 6 bolts to summit. This pitch trends left.
All bolts looked good.
I was puzzled by absolutely no tat on the rap anchor on the top of third pitch. Like someone walked off. Weird. we put fresh slings on the bolts. Found 2 bail biners on the route, and no chalk.
From the summit. One 60m rap to the ledge on top of second pitch. Then double rope rap to the ground on a nice patina flower anchor we rigged. No bolts here.
Fun exciting route, in a beautiful remote area of the park. needs more traffic.
