It's free to access any area by hiking instead of driving. That includes hiking from Echo Lake Park to Roadside, Gateway, Area A, Possibility, and everything around there. It also includes Hell's Hole and other areas.
Description
This is not my route, but Ken Trout's 2014 overview topo shows it (I referred to it as No Exposure in my notes before I found his topo). It's almost a plumbline directly to the Double Exposure anchors via slab and an obvious dihedral (sort of a D.E. direct, but that's what he named the upper pitch 5.10 variation). Anyhow, this line misses the bolts and exposure of DE and is worthy of its own spot on the list. Ken rated it 5.7.
I heard some folks on TR call it 5.8. What do you think?
Location
It is about 20 feet left of Double Exposure and the start varies with snow coverage.
From the ramp, when exposed, wander up directly below the corner left of the Double Exposure cracks.
Protection
A singles rack to #3 worked for me (I even found a good tie-off). Use Double Exposure's P1 anchors.
Rap' off or continue up.
