Description
P1. 20m, 5.6, 2 bolts & gear. A “bonus pitch” when there is no snow. Locate the 1st bolt and climb up a featured slab towards a second bolt. Gain the loose slanting ledge and two bolt anchor above.
P2. 20m, 5.5, 3 bolts. Climb featured slabs up & right 8m to the first bolt and then up & left past 2 more bolts to a two bolt anchor at a small ledge. P1 & P2 can be combined.
P3. 29m, 5.8, 6 bolts & gear. Climb up to a small overlap passing a few bolts. Continue up trending left towards the main right-facing corner. Smear up the right-facing corner and climb a gear-protected layback crack higher up to a two bolt belay on the left wall.
P4. 29m, 5.9, 5 bolts & gear. Continue up the corner above to the first bolt. Step left (5.9) and make a rising traverse towards a second bolt. Climb up and left past a third bolt then ascend a broken groove straight up followed by a thin finger crack. A final bolt-protected slab move (5.9) leads to a two bolt anchor at the top of the Goat Wall.
From the top of this section, stow the rope away and scramble left & up to the NW Ridge of Half Dome. To reach the next section on the SW face of Half Dome, follow the gentle ridge towards Half Dome for 200m. At a point where the ridge steepens again, scramble down 20m towards Ymir Bowl. Contour in a Southeasterly direction below the base of the SW face along loose talus for 200m.
P2. 20m, 5.5, 3 bolts. Climb featured slabs up & right 8m to the first bolt and then up & left past 2 more bolts to a two bolt anchor at a small ledge. P1 & P2 can be combined.
