Description Suggest change

First pitch is a nice 5.8+ hand crack. Once the crack ends, follow the start of the left-facing dihedral to a large bush. The bush can be used as an anchor.

Pitch two climb the entire left facing dihedral, part of this pitch is so thin that nuts are required to protect about 20 feet of the corner.

Pitch three continue up easier terrain to the top of the formation.

Location Suggest change

Just south of the Wedge on the east facing wall of the Gendarmes look for the dihedrals.

To rappel, I used bushes and left a couple nuts. If you do the route you might want to bring a bolt kit but the nuts were left there August 14, 2016. So they should be good for a while.

Protection Suggest change

Double cams up to #3 Camalot, nuts. Tricams do come in handy.
