Half Mile High

Magnificent route.

Pitch 1: Start on a sloping ledge following a hand crack with chicken heads to a small roof with one bolt afterwards. Belay under another roof on a nice mossy ledge with flowers. 1 bolt gear to 2” 5.9

Pitch 2: Jump-clip the first bolt. Pull the roof on left side and stand up on a small ledge. Balance move right then runout the featured slab clipping bolts to a nice right facing corner splitter. Continue up blocky terrain reaching a hanging slab with a bolted corner above. Climb the techy corner to an exciting arete finish. 7 bolts gear to 1” 5.11

Pitch 3: Straight to the roof! Climb the 4 dimensional slab passing a bolt to underclings in the roof. Switch directions and jump for the upper corner. Hold on and mantle the crystal band. Follow the corner and pull out to a belay below another roof. 5 bolts gear to 1” 5.12-

Pitch 4: Step right and high step into the roof. Knee bar and finger jam and lip pinch and palm scum over... relax at the jug and finish up a short bulgy finger crack. 3 bolts gear to .3” 5.12-

From here continue up John’s Pitch to the diving board. Take it to the summit for the Full Half Mile High.

Start in hand crack below one bolt and nice grassy ledge.

Bolts and cams. To 2”.
