California > Eastern Sierra > Lee Vining Cany… > Lee Vining Ice… > Narrows - Right > Dark-Colored Cliffs

Description

A good warm up, and also a good introduction to trad dry tooling on granite.

Climb the right facing corner formed by a cracked-up pillar.

Location

On the right side of the Narrows in the darker rock. Look for the obvious pillar just before the bolted routes. Lower or rap from mussy hooks on top.

Protection

Single rack from .4 - 3 BD. Medium to large stoppers can be useful.

[Hide Comment] @thepirate1 Yep. Like it says under "Location" there is a bolted anchor with mussy hooks on top. Once you're standing on top of the pillar find these anchors on the larger wall the pillar is leaning against. Jan 11, 2020
