Description Suggest change

The first pitch is a bit more devious than it looks from the ground. The crux corner of this pitch felt thin and challenging for the grade. The belay ledge is plush for the changeover. 5.5, 80'.

P1. Climb the right-facing corner, ramp and crack past a thin open book (left of the sentry box) and up to a stance. From here, sling everything long, traverse right 20', then up an easy chimney to a belay ledge.

P2. Pull over a nice bulge and go straight up to the GT ledge via some fantastic face climbing. 5.5, 100'.

Both pitches end at bolted rappel stations. Use caution and courtesy when climbing/descending, as with any busy rappel line that overlaps a popular climb.

Overall it's a great line; each pitch has its own distinct character.

Location Suggest change

Start in the first of two right-facing corners 25' right of the classic Bonnie's Roof.

Protection Suggest change

Solid pro is available where you need it, but can sometimes be a bit tricky to place. Small wires helpful on the first pitch. Otherwise a standard Gunks rack is perfect.
