Access Issue: PRECIPITATION AND WET ROCK Details

The sandstone here is easily damaged when wet. Please allow at least 24-48 hours before climbing after any precipitation. If the ground is at all damp, please do not climb on any local sandstone. Consider nearby options on basalt, limestone, granite, or plastic instead.

Description

Start in the slightly overhanging offwidth corner. There are some helpful features on the face to stem up. Get a good chicken wing and grovel up the first 15-20 feet. Questionable crimps here and there outside the crack. Eventually get some thin hands, then hands. The crack widens a bit at the top and flares, making the jams less secure than you would like. Look on the face! Get inside the flaring slot and top out.

Pretty good, with some suspect rock in places. Place your gear thoughtfully. The crux for me was the offwidth start. The top was tricky where the crack flared.

Location

At the back of the doghouse, climbers left, there is an obvious corner crack.

Protection

Todd Goss' guidebook is mistaken in my opinion on this one. He says to bring "large pro to #4." I had a single #5 which was tipped out to protect the start. If you want to place protection in the first 15 feet, bring a #6. Additionally, there is no "2-bolt sling anchor" at the top that I could see, so I traversed to the anchors on Hair of the Dog to lower.

My rack was #5, #2, #1, #2, #3, #3, orange metolius
