Description
This is an old climb that starts on the gray/black streak just right of the crack start of ”Far West Country”. It is denoted by a single replaced bolt twenty feet up. It skirts the cracks to the left and passes a short left trending crack and continues to a block with an old Chouinard pin with a ring on it. Probably a belay point. It then continues up “Far West Country” streaks to top. This route was free soled in 2011 and has probably been soloed before and definitely since by others. It may actually be the “Far West Country” as the Roper High Sierra guide says “A class 4 pitch leads to the pine and from here a short crack leads to friction slabs TO THE RIGHT of the straight-in cracks.” So the old replaced bolt may denote where to cross to slabs and continuing up to “straight in cracks“ described as being part of Far West Country in the other post may be inaccurate. So this may be considered a direct slab start to “Far West Country”.
