The Brosseau Finish

This route is an alternate second pitch for The Inn Crowd. Climb The Inn Crowd's first pitch and then start up its second pitch. At the third bolt of that pitch, move right, past one bolt and then into the obvious water streak. Four more bolts and one very good slung knob protect climbing in the streak (eight bolts total for the pitch). At the top of the streak, exit right and continue eight feet more to a two bolt anchor. Descend by making a short (45 foot) rappel to the top of the second pitch of The Inn Crowd (and continue down from there).

The name honors the proprietors of "The Inn at the Pinnacles," excellent hosts who serve tasty breakfasts, provide wonderful company, and make excellent wine (wine which has "The Brosseau Finish").
