Description

This climbs a flake and discontinuous cracks, to the right of Pipeline. For those wishing to set up a TR, the top anchor can be reached by first climbing up the much easier North Ridge route.

took more gear than a single rack to 3" doubles of 1-2.also about 8 slings as the route wonders back and forth. when you top out at the bolted three chain bomber anchors. and your second comes up. walk left on the ridge ten feet you will notice two bolts with three chain rings to rappel the cliff.with a sixty meter it will get you too a good ledge to down climb ten feet. trend skiers left of the huge canyon crack. and you will arrive on a ledge..

Variation: The topo diagram in the print guidebook 4th edition by Marty Lewis about 25 feet up follows the left-side flake (which sort of faces right). But we found it more interesting (and strenuous) to climb the right-side flake (which faces left) - difficulty around 5.8 Aug 5, 2016

Very fun route on Top-Rope.

Sharon and I got access to the 2-bolt top anchor by first climbing up the much easier North Ridge route. Neither of us felt any need for directional protection.

70 meter rope was just long enough so we could belay our Top-Roping from the bottom. Aug 5, 2016

70m barely reaches the ground. Be cautious if you chopped any bit of rope. You can probably go off rappel using a steep-ish ledge or small boulder if I recall.
The top has wander-y climbing on 5.4ish but slightly runout. If you have half an idea how to crack climb, do the 5.7 just to the right for a more quality warm-up. Aug 9, 2018
