Description Suggest change

Two long pitches of enjoyable climbing up the middle section of the Lost Horse Wall.

P1 170' 5.7: Up the variational P1 of Gossamer Wings (not the crack system that leads up to its bolted anchor but the adjacent one to climber's left).  Instead of stepping right to belay beneath the left underside of the giant midway block, continue up and left to belay on a ledge at the bottom of the Jenga stack of giant patina blocks, located above a yucca and just left of a small tree.

P2 180' 5.7: Up the Jenga stack of patina blocks (variation 1). More solid than they look from the ground, with loose parts about but able to pick way up via solid rock. After about 20 ft, step left to pull up and over an overhang onto another stretch of nice patinas.  As that levels off, follow a right-slanting featured cleft upward, and then cut diagonally along a second left-slanting crack that soon appears, to follow to the top.

Variation 2: Climb the face to the right of the Jenga blocks.

Rap down Gossamer Wings with a 60m rope, or scramble across the top of the formation to climber's right to connect to the familiar walk-off for The Swift, etc.

Location Suggest change

Located to the left of Gossamer Wings.  Spot the very obvious Jenga stack of giant patinas near the upper left corner of the huge square block of Gossamer Wings about halfway up the wall.

Protection Suggest change

Standard rack to 3" with optional #4 cam for P2, gear anchors.
