Seldom Mustard Never Relish

Description

P1: 5.6 PG-13. Same start as Blueberry Ledges but wander straight up the somewhat run-out face to the GT Ledge just left of the Beginner's Delight third pitch belay.  A better alternative than the first pitch is to do the first pitch of Beetle Brow Bulge keeping the climb at about the same grade. 

P2: 5.10b. Pull the roof about 10 feet left of the Beginner's Delight corner.  You are aiming for the point just left of the cracks in the photo. One grunt and you are over and on easy moves to the top. 

Location

Start on the large ledge with a tree 25 feet left of Beginner's Delight.  

Protection

Standard Gunks rack. You can get gear in just to the left of where you pull the roof.

Roof on pitch 2. It looks a lot bigger and steeper in person.

[Hide Comment] Thanks for adding this, I did it last weekend. A lot of so-so easy climbing and a pretty decent roof problem. Not bad. Jun 19, 2019
