Big Boas
Backcountry adventure featuring moderate cracks, offwidths, face climbing and great exposure. There are 4 / 2 bolt anchors and are mainly there for rapping the route from the top. There is a tree at the summit where you can rappel with one single rope. The rest of the rappels are double ropers. You can also just climb the route with a 60/ 70m rope and descend the gully or the North side rappel. ( one rope)
Pitch 1 - Go up the main gully and look for the most moderate approach which is a low angle crack with a tree hanging in the middle.
2. Stembox and interesting features will come into view as you go up. 1-5 inch cracks will take ya to the big grassy ledge AKA the “Grown Man Ledge” Long pitch. Bring up to a 5” Cam. 180 ft 5.9
3. Up low angle slabs and cracks to belay on a a good ledge underneath the main chimney system. 5.6/7
4. Hanging Gardens, OW visible above. Climb OW or go up and right to avoid it. If you go up and right, traverse back into chimney system. You will arrive at a two bolt anchor. 5.9
5. Ascend steep hand cracks and stem your way up the chimney/offwidth to a good ledge. Short pitch .9+ 50 ft
6. Get the big boas out and ascend the wide crack. Double big cams are definitely nice to have and you will have to choose to link it to summit or belay under big roof.
7. If you do not link then belay under roof on the left side and proceed to the summit
Summit tree: rappel the route or descend the gully
