FA: Steve Garvey, Jim Sweeney
Alaska > Anchorage & S C… > Hatcher Pass > Archangel Valle… > White Spot

Description

P1: Climb featured face and intermittent crack/flakes to a small roof. Pull the roof and follow bolts to the anchor on excellent face climbing. Anchor is on a slightly sloping ledge. 30m, 5.10

P2: These are the goods! Climb directly from the anchor to a high(ish) first bolt. Follow more bolts to the arete using the occasional cam to fill in gaps. Superb arete and face climbing will top out with a final bulge and a short turf scramble to the top anchor. 30m 5.10+

Can be descended with one double rope rappel (60m)

Location

2nd lowest route when walking up to the wall. Look for the short, sharp roof 60 ft up.

Protection

Bolts, small to medium gear, bolted rappel anchors. (Anchors replaced August 2018)

[Hide Comment] I would give it more stars if the first pitch gets cleaned and traffic. The pitches seemed closer to 35M than 30M, but 2 60's should get you down from the top. Aug 20, 2018

[Hide Comment] Glad this route was brought back to life! 1st pitch is a bit dirty, but still fun. 2nd pitch is the $$ pitch. Aug 31, 2020
