Description

P1 5.11b 100 ft. Start at horizontal flake then follow bolts up to center of the tree

ledge. Bolts 1-3 are close together (for good reason) and

angle slightly left.  There is a TCU placement after bolt 3 and another optional

cam under last bolt. Expect a run out near the top on

5.9ish terrain. P2 5.11a 70 ft. two goes straight up following

 a groove past some bolts and small gear, then up and slight left on more gear

and to anchors. P3 5.8 90 ft. Nice groove to anchors. 

Location

Below center to the tree ledge 100 feet up.  This is to the left of Route 66 and right of Banshee.

Protection

bolts and gear small to hand sized.

The start to P2 is gonna be harder now, this whole plate broke off while Will was standing on it, luckily he had already clipped the bolt!

[Hide Comment] Super engaging smearing and edging on p1! One of my favorites of the day. P2 foothold for getting to first bolt has broken off (see photo) So the move there is quite hard now, but possible to pull through if you still want to do the rest of the pitch without fear of decking on the belay ledge.

[Hide Comment] P2 is still doable at 5.11 despite the broken hold. There is a decent foot down and left, step on it, then backstep the slab to the right and you can reach the slopey hold, then the good rail. I aided the anchor to clip bolt 1 before attempting. The anchor will be moved up to make the aid clip of bolt 1 easier. Feb 29, 2024
