Description
An adventurous route that will certainly get better with traffic.
Start by easy 5th class scrambling to the base of the right facing corner. 100'
P1 Climb the broken corner passing some dirty ledges and a small bulge/roof 5.9. Shortly after stay in the corner just right of the large detached block. Belay with medium size cams and nuts at the obvious stance. 5.9 35m
P2 The "money pitch!" Move right from the belay and enter a stone filled shallow chimney. Climbing this short section brings you to a small roof to pass with (for me) off fingers. You are now in the main right facing corner. Climb this to its top via fingers and tips. Belay at a great stance with small and medium sized gear. A five star pitch! 5.11 35m
P3 Again move right. Climb the obvious hand crack in the corner to a gap. Move right over the gap and continue with hands and big hands to a stance below the obvious OW above. 5.10 38m
P4 Starting off the ledge we made a few moves of A0 using small brassies. This corner could certainly be stemmed likely at 11c/d (bring a wire brush to clean some lichen off of the right wall) after a few moves, grab a welcomed bucket/flake. Continue up the corner using a crack on the left wall as well as the main corner. Eventually this turns to a short section of off width (a couple body lengths). After, continue in a slight rightward trend through broken ground and belay on one of many huge ledges. 5.10 A0 40m
P5 simul or unrope for 200+ feet of EZ 5th to the summit.
Descent; Walk off the back, 1st with some talus hopping then to a "fill your shoes" sandy slope.
