Description
A 70M rope ( or a second rope) is mandatory to rappel
Pitch 1: 5.6 Sport - 10 bolts to a ring anchor (~110 ft). If climbing the next pitches, continue past the anchor and belay at the large tree on the vegetated ledge
Note- Although the FAer/submitter gave pitch1 a 5.6, consensus seems to be settling on 5.7. The opening moves may be as thin as the crux, which is up where there are two very close bolts. R Hall, Admin.
Pitch 2: 5.6 Trad - Climb up through the tree ledge, clip two bolts and then traverse directly left on a blueberried foot ledge to the base of a dark slab. Climb past two more bolts and a hollow overlap to a ring anchor at the base of a finger crack (~110 ft)
Pitch 3: 5.5 Trad - Climb up the short crack, step right and climb past bolts on easy ground up to a ring anchor.
or
5.3 Trad - Up easy rock right of the crack, step left back towards the crack and continue to the top on very featured rock. (~70 ft)
I recommend combining Pitch 2 and 3 into a long pitch.
Descent: Rappel the route with a 70M rope. A single 70m reaches from the P2 anchor, through the tree ledge to the P1 anchor.
