Camber - The Dunn Finish

A very unique and wild pitch, which features a beautiful, moderate crack, guarded on either end by hard crack/face climbing. The original finish to Camber, this challenging and wandering pitch has fallen out of style in favor of the more direct finish, Reverse Camber. It was reclaimed by lichen for a while, but was recently cleaned as of 2022 and climbs quite well now. It demands skill in many styles, including crimps, crack, slab and even a little downclimbing, all while keeping a cool head.

From the bolted belay at the base of Reverse Camber, step right on steep slab to a bolt. Clip the bolt and make a few delicate steps down to to some good feet (crux, 5.10d) Make a big step right to another good foot and a hidden solution pocket. Gain a small pedistool ledge, and make easier moves on big holds to the next ledge up, where you can get a hand sized cam. Climb the moderate crack, moving left through cool mantels, gaining a steep corner. Place your last hand sized piece, then step up with a little stemming and a unique hold, gaining a left facing flake. Protect in the flake (black tricam works well), then escape the corner to the right, using good crimps, which progressively blend into a ledge (5.10a). Make one final mantel on the ledge, standing up to easy ground. Belay in the classic crack on hand sized gear. 5.10d.

The corner/crack to the right of Room With A View. Starts at the bolt out right, level with the Camber Belay. Approach by climbing Camber P1, or rappeling with a single rope from the top of the Airation Buttress. 

Bolt, single rack to #2, black tricam. Extra #2s for the top anchor are helpful because it's a hand sized crack. This can also be TRed with no directionals, with some slight flicking of the rope.
