Description Suggest change

A mostly fist-sized crack in a right facing corner leads to a nice ledge beneath a roof system up high. Traverse left and up to a wide crack that splits the roof. Pull through the roof and the short overhanging face above. Once things ease off there are bolted anchors to the left of the crack.

Location Suggest change

This one's clear the hell and gone.

Take the Paradise Falls trail that splits off from the main approach trail about halfway up. When you reach the cliff, head left. Eventually you'll pass under another waterfall/cave thing. Keep going further and further still. At some point the trail will be running right alongside the cliff and you'll be going down a fairly steep hill. At the bottom of the hill a right-facing corner starts about 4 feet off the ground. The corner has a fist-sized crack and leads up to an alcove beneath a high roof. Out left, a wide crack cuts through the roof and into the short overhanging face above. You've found Wild Pink!

Protection Suggest change

Bring doubles of hand-sized stuff. The whole thing goes with nothing larger than a #3 Camalot, but you might want some bigger stuff for the first go-round.

Bolts with rings at the top.
