Access Issue: Stick Clipping Is Highly Recommended
Details
While all routes have been thoughtfully bolted, many lines contain a high first bolt. So, the local ethic is to stick clip the first bolt, and eliminate ground falls.
Description
This is the infamous bouldering traverse problem that lines the lower edge of Shelter 1. This traverse holds three different crux sections. If you can find them, there are no hand rests along the way. This is truly a world class climb.
Location
This classic variation is located between the Jill's and Camel's Hump. Start on the rock protruding out of the ground at the base of Jill's, proceed by following path of lease resistance, and end by standing up at the base of Camel's Hump.
