Description
This a a nice line to the left of the Worst Error Pinnacle, worth a lap if you get down early from another climb in the area. It's a little bit crusty with lichen, but if offers enjoyable climbing with some nice exposure on the upper half. It starts just uphill from Crashline, following an obvious left-facing flake/corner.
Start by hand-over-handing up a wedged flake in a chimney. Then jam past another wedged flake which leads to a ledge with a tree. You can belay here if you want to break it up into two short pitches. Above the tree is an offwidth which widens to a chimney. The top of the chimney pinches down to hands and the exit is quite fun and exposed. Above is sustained 5.9 climbing on flakes in a corner which are sometimes a bit hollow sounding. This leads all the way to a tiny summit on top of a pinnacle.
The rap anchor is a couple 35-y-o 1/4"ers that are in horrible condition but did manage to each hold body-weight when I tested them individually. I extended this down a few feet with a length of cord and tried to get it somewhat equalized with a stopper I left at the top of the crack. This set-up could be further improved with more webbing and shenanigans, but really what it needs is for someone to just haul a bolt kit up there. Rap all the way to the ground with two 50m ropes. It might also be possible to rap with one rope, stopping at a tree near the top of Crashline. We had a terrible time pulling our ropes, and I'm not sure if it's because of my funky anchor setup or what.
