Description Suggest change

This may be the easiest route going up the full length of the main wall of Vista del Sol. It starts up an easy slab heading right, enters a chimney for 30-40ft out which you exit left on a good ledge with no pro. Fortunately there is a good bolt about 6ft above the middle of the ledge. From there, climb directly up the chimney/off-width past a few suspect-looking blocks that turned out to not be a problem.The route could be led as a single pitch, but we split it up due to gear shortage issues, belaying from a ledge about 20ft above the bolt.

To get down, scramble west and descend onto a spacious ledge where a good 2-bolt rap anchor can be found. A double 60m rap reaches the ground.

Location Suggest change

The route is on the right, high side of Vista del Sol, and just to the left of the Parallel Cracks route. See topo.

Protection Suggest change

There is 1 bolt when needed, but otherwise bring doubles in 0.3-4. Some large nuts and hexes could also be useful.
