Description Suggest change

This is the second route to the right of the obvious crack in the wall,  just right of Whip Tide on similar pocketed jugs.

P1: (5.8) Big obvious holds take you from bottom to top. Face climbing on pockets and big jugs to an anchor at 20m to top-rope. Or continue 9m higher to an anchor below the 2nd pitch overhanging chimney pitch.

P2:  (9+) Remniscent of wild chimney pitches in Red Rocks, the start is the crux getting established in the Bombay style chimney. Easier moves lead to a crack crux coming out of the cleft, then exposed but easier climbing to the top of the cliff.  Lower off top-anchor brings one down the adjacent Whip Tide route.

Location Suggest change

Second route to the right of the big obvious crack on the right side of the wall.

Protection Suggest change

P1: About 9 bolts and bolted anchors with carabiners to the lower off anchor (20m) or continue through easier vegetated terrain to the bolted rappel anchor below P2 (29m)

P2:  12 bolts (through and out of the steep chimney feature) to a lowering anchor at the top of the cliff (25m).
