Description

Pedestal Left follows the crack up the dihedral on the left side of the pedestal as the name implies. It's a good choice for beginners or for getting comfortable with leading on quartzite. The crux lies about halfway up after which the rock becomes more featured. Protection is adequate for lead climbers.

Protection

Standard TR set up with an assortment of cracks fairly close to the edge.

Small to medium pro for leading, definitely nothing bigger than 3" is necessary.
