Description
From Central MT Rock: "A superb route known for its perma-grin jug hauling, perfect crimping and comfortable belays. Most people skip the uber hard last pitch."
Pitch 1: (5.6) Move on up the easy slab to a ledge. (60ft, 7 bolts)
Pitch 2: (5.11b) Excellent, steep and pumpy! Route arches to the left through a bulge. (80ft, 14 bolts)
Pitch 3: (5.10b) Step right on ledge to second anchor. This allows you to access this excellent, but strenuous pitch, which ends on another ledge. (50 ft, 7 bolts)
Pitch 4:(5.10a) Up the overhanging pillar loaded with incut ladder rung jugs to a grassy ledge big enough for a tent. (95ft, 13 bolts)
Pitch 5: (5.10a) Chimney, stem and face climb on a leaning pillar. (65ft, bolts)
Pitch 6: (5.11d/12a) Scream up the boulderly, crimpy line on good rock. (100ft, 14 bolts)
Descent: Three double rope rappels.
