Description

Start below a couple shallow depressions in the wall. Move straight up into the first depression and move up and slightly left to the second depression. Make a tough move right then up to a gaston in a featured water groove. Struggle for a couple moves through the water groove to gain a small ledge. Continue up past another bolt to gain a large ledge and anchors below a large featured chert wall - "The Wall".

This is one of four options as an approach pitch to the climbs on The Wall.

Location

Starts 10 feet right of the Bingham route Matchhead.

See the beta picture for relative location.

Protection

7 or 8 bolts. Chain anchors on the ledge below The Wall. Single rappel with a 60 meter rope to descend.

[Hide Comment] Added a sport anchor at the end of the hard climbing (July 2020). If you want to climb the routes on "The Wall" continue past two more bolts and to the chain anchors at the comfortable ledge below "The Wall". Previously 4 routes all funneled to one set of anchors, now multiple parties can climb these side by side routes. Jul 31, 2020
