Description
Follow 5 bolts of good climbing in an obtuse dihedral, to a slightly run-out but cruiser and extremely well-featured face with 3 more bolts. This pitch recently had 4 bolts added to it (with permission of the FA), particularly to make the upper face more manageable. Good alternative if Warpath or Warpaint are occupied.
"Trail of Tears" also has a second pitch that clocks in at mid-5.11. Hopefully the 2nd pitch will get more traffic now as well...just make sure to ignore the "false" anchor (see comments section).
