Description

The Bone follows the slanting inside corner on the right (north) side of the obvious "Porkchop" face. Start out on the manhole cover sized chockstone at the base of the route. A few strenuous moves will get you into the inside corner. Follow the corner up to a converging overhang at about 30 feet. Climb through the gap in the center of the overhang, then follow a crack for about ten feet to a ledge. Carefully traverse right on the ledge for about 6 feet using well-hidden hand holds, putting gear in low by your feet or knees. Surmount another slight overhang to another ledge, then climb up a five foot chimney to the top.

Protection

Small to medium stoppers, hexes, or cams. There are only a couple short sections of crack that could take a #3 or larger. You could use anything in the Totem range somewhere on this climb.
