[Hide Comment] Overgrown first and second pitch so if you weren't bothered with the bushwhacking approach for this route you will be fine. After the first set of anchors continue straight up and locate hidden bolts to the second anchors. There is a bolt far left that a party bailed on and caused us to venture that way. From the second anchors follow a crusty fixed rope (as of Jan 2021) to the belay anchors for the last pitch. This pitch is pretty good, not great, doesn't make the approach or first two pitches worth it, but you do get to climb a route not many have climbed in epc, if that means anything to you.

[Hide Comment] Very good climb but if you are not a lover of long and steep approaches, I suggest that you do not go up to this area.
You can link the 1st and 2nd pitches.
The 5.10b is actually very good that it will reward you with a beautiful view from above. Apr 11, 2024
