Description
I climbed this route with Jon Griffin in 2014. We thought we were doing a first ascent but later learned it had already been climbed by Sevve Stember et al. in 2010.
*We named it Mountain Pride for the huge clump of the flower, Penstemon newberryi, growing at the base of the route.
Pitch 1: 5.10b/c - The crux and best pitch of the route. A clean right facing corner. Awesome climbing! A few funky flakes are wedged in the corner but didn't budge when we tried to pull them out. 180 feet.
Pitch 2: 5.6 - Face climb up and left and belay at the base of a 4th class slab. 100ft
Pitch 3: 4th class - Up the slab and belay at a tree. 200 feet
Pitch 4: Move to the right up a short 5.6 offwidth, then continue right up 2nd class slab. 120 feet.
Pitch 5: Up a short 5.8 hand crack, slab and then the top of the feature. 50 feet
4 and 5 should link easily with some long slings and/or rope drag.
