Description
Begin by picking a route on
Balanced Rock Wall. Then, depending on your choice of route on
Balanced Rock Wall either select a route in
Box Canyon, or gain the ridge proper immediately to the northeast of
Balanced Rock. After the pitch above
Box Canyon the route becomes a combination of short, blocky, steps mixed with the occasional "gendarme". The exposure on the upper ridge is never tremendous, but there are some high consequence areas. Top out just below where the Balanced Rock Trail Joins the East Bluff Trail.
Protection
Above Box Canyon effective protection might be difficult to find.
