My first pro on The Nut Pitch. Looks sketchy but the DMM offset felt suprisingly tight and solid - it would not pop out unless rock breaks. There's a bomber placement for a 0.4'' cam 1m above.

[Hide Comment] Protection is tricky for beginners , the laid back at the bottom is super fun. Aug 10, 2014
[Hide Comment] There is new (2016) Titanium anchor.

The first few moves, which is the crux, is not protected at all - have a good spotter; the rest can be easily protected.

Nuts are useful but there are also many good placements for mid size cams (to 1''), a 2'' can be used to protect the final move.

If feeling adventurous, one can continue climbing to the ledge above the anchor; there's some loose rocks and grass but it can be well protected, I'd grade it 5.8. There's the Wedding Route anchor on the ledge but one'd rather extend it and place a few directionals as it is a few meters to the right. Apr 17, 2017
[Hide Comment] Climbed with Milk and his wife. After seeing me on Harp, he thought I knew what I was doing on gear and put me on this route. Nope! I think I made him sweat a bit when I was essentially soloing with a harness full of his nuts and cams. Apr 21, 2017
