Follow the Hare

5.5 R, Trad, 80 ft (24 m),  Avg: 1 from 1 vote

Description

This is to the right of the other 5.5 on the face with featured granite and two horizontal cracks. Climb up the center, and place two cams. Climb over the slight bulge, and continue up until a small, flaring finger crack cuts right. Place small protection, and continue to traverse right. Either downclimb the gully, rappel off of horn or tree, or climb up to the chains to the west side of the rock, and rappel from that side. I would not recommend this for the 5.5 leader as gear is a bit finicky and not very obvious.

Location

Just to the right of the obvious 5.5 chimney, start on the open face.

Rappel down from a tree or horn at the top.

Protection

A standard rack up to 3 inches. Small cams came in very handy for protecting the traverse.
