Description

Go up the Dead Snag Rappel. Easy, but runout climbing to the first set of chains (don't stop here). The best line goes straight up from the chains, but you can go slightly left for easier climbing (and less pro). Follow the right crack past a small bush to the right edge of the roof. Gain the roof through either of the two notches. Ascend the small dihedral to the ledge, or come out onto the face when convenient. Beware loose rocks.

Named for the dangers from other parties above.

[Hide Comment] The upper half of this climb was very fun. Gotta work for the protection though. The small roof to the right of the huge overhang offers many good holds and can be pulled in various ways making each ascent unique. Definitely a must do!

Gear rating: PG-13 for the the section below and slightly above the first set of chains you pass.
