Description
Enjoyable & classic route. I thought this was the best line we did there in our weeklong visit. Bolted anchors to the top of P4 allow for a rappel descent (can probably be done with a single 70M and some easy downclimbing at the bottom of P1), or take it to the top and true summit for the walkoff.
P1) 5.10 thin crack, 40m.
P2) 5.10+ pass a small roof and continue up a finger crack, 20m.
P3) 5.11c Beautiful finger/thin crack and stemming up the corner, 30m.
P4) 5.10 continue up the left crack to a ledge, take the left crack again for 5M, them move right to another beautiful crack for 10M to the belay, 35m. Rappel from here OR:
P5) 5.6 easy terrain leads to the top of the wall, 15m. Walk/scramble to the summit.
