French Trumpeter

From either of the stand starts (the right hand jug option seems most popular), climb up and left along a diagonal passing a good crimp and moving into a high gaston. Crank to bring your feet up, cross to a pebble, and top it out.

Location

This ascends the first obvious boulder up the trail to the left from the parking area.

[Hide Comment] This is an incredibly underrated line, and I think it climbs better than FO. It feels very consistent at the grade also. Jan 23, 2023

[Hide Comment] I have to agree with Eric, this one has great movement. I too enjoyed it more than FO, although I also thought it was a bit scarier at the top (not too bad though). Apr 1, 2023
