Description Suggest change

This route combines a few routes in the pink guidebook but is the free version of the aid climb "Humanitarian Aid".

Pitch 1, 5.9. Climb the large, right-facing corner to its top where you will make a committing move to the slab above. There are 2 bolts on this slab leading to the tree up and left. Clip the tat on the tree, and continue above to a rightward foot traverse on a dike. Make a few more moves up to the horizontal below the crux bulge. Build a gear anchor, and extend it long.

Pitch 2, a short pitch 5.11. Pull the bulge through the steep finger crack with bad feet. Follow the water groove above where the difficulty eases. Belay on the ledge above.

Pitch 3, 5.5. Climb the low angle fist crack to its end. Continue on slab to the top. There is a flake with gear out to the left.

Expect some runouts in the easier sections of climbing.

Location Suggest change

Locate the last right-facing corner before the shield. To be sure, look for some tat around the top of this feature.

Protection Suggest change

A standard light rack. Both belays take hand-sized gear. If you are freeing this, you probably don't need gear for the P3 fist crack.
