Description Suggest change

We thought this turned out to be a great route with an exceptional variety of pitches all on good rock. Not as many splitters as next door, but awesome climbing. As a bonus, you don't have to climb the 200' total junk rock to approach like some of the routes to the right.

P1 - 11b 200' - Just a bit of rotten rock to easy crack. Face traverse right at bolt to next crack system. Up to a roof and then face climb past bolts to anchor on great ledge

P2 - 11a 180' - Take the corner on the right. Bolts lead up and then left to an arete. Climb above the last bolt on the face, then transfer left into the left-facing corner. Up corner to a roof and undercling right to the belay. 

P3 - 10d 120' - Go back left to the corner and up just a bit. Bust around to the left into another corner. Go left again to crescent crack with crux transfer at the top. Wild stemming leads to roof and belay. 

P4 - 11a 80' - Wander up and right to high bolt. Downclimb and dyno right to belay ledge. 

P5 - 11b 150' - Awesome cracks in the corner go on for a while. 2 bolts protect a quick blank section. Higher, 2 more bolts protect a section where it pinches shut. At a roof, traverse to the belay, downclimbing a move or two. Protect the follower. 

P6 - 10c 100' - Amazing hand crack

P7 - 5.9 200' - Headwall splitters. We traversed to one on the left. Higher, make sure you aim to go a bit leftward into the left corner. 

P8 - 10a - 150' - Cool, obvious crack system. At the junction of handcracks, take the right one (hidden from belay) to the nice top-out ledge

300' of low 5th scrambling leads to the summit

Rap the route on fixed anchors from the top of P8 with two tropes. Or walk off from the summit.

Location Suggest change

Hike up talus to the lowest part of the wall. There's an obvious, square-cut, right-facing corner system off the ground. Pitch one climbs face/cracks just to the right. Route is just left of other established routes

Protection Suggest change

Standard doubles to 3. We may have had a 4 but I can't recall
