Description Suggest change

This is a 2 or 3 pitch connection of various cracks staying on the left side on the upper face of Winter Block. The upper half of the route is some sort of Diorite, climbs like granite. You could climb this off Tweedledum or Wonky if you were looking for a more proper multi pitch experience.

P1: 55ft 5.7. Start off the slightly exposed ledge by a bush and the handline to access the lower wall. Climb a dirty corner to a ledge then scramble to the intermediate anchor. You could break this into two really really short pitches if you want.

.

P2: 40ft 5.10a. Step right from the anchor and climb the obvious bulging flake crack system to the ledge just below the summit. Good locks and friction, highly recommend taping fingers.

Location Suggest change

Starts just around corner from single bolt with fixed line (right of Sun Rise Forever), follow exposed ledge to slab with hand crack on right end. 

Protection Suggest change

Single rack to 2" (maybe more in finger size if doing it in one pitch), chain anchors at the top and halfway.

My single rack is: blue, green, yellow, grey Alien, then #.5- #2 Camalot.

2 single rope raps to base.
