Description
Erik has shared following Topo and Overlay on MP forums; Yose University Topo, Wild Wall Overlay.
P1 (5.9) 125': Wild 5.9 lieback and crack on the left (Do not take the bolts right off the ground - the bolts lead to very dirty climbing so don't get suckered that way). Stuck gear at the crux (maybe 5.9+) just after the Manzanita tree as of 5/20/23. Bolted anchor.
P2 (5.9) 115': Locate a bolt up and right and wander up a little munge into an excellent thin crack with a slightly wide finger crux. Stellar pitch, bolted belay.
P3 (5.7+) 125': Make a slightly heady traverse left and eventually up a slab to a bolt, avoid the dirt and find some trees in a beautiful corner. Take the corner up with fingers and hands to a tree belay. Might be slightly harder than your average 5.7 pitch.
At this point you'll see/hear tourists on the Yosemite Falls trail. Columbia Rock has some cracks on the topo called "extra credit", but we just opted for the walk-off by then.
