Access Issue: Private Property Details

The far west side of the block is on private property as is some of the approach. Please stay on the trail and follow the signs.

Description

P1. Follow a mix of face moves, followed by easy ground, then more challenging face moves (crux) to the chains, 90 feet, 5 bolts, 5.8.

P2. Go straight up from the belay (crux), then continue on easy ground to the steep dihedral and to chains above, 90 feet, 3 bolts, 5.7.

P3. Climb the short face above (crux), scramble through the bushy flats, then enter the crystal slot. Veer right following bolts to the summit anchors, 120 feet, 7 bolts, 5.7.

Descent: either walk north to descent trail or downclimb the via ferrata. Because of the lower angle, rapping the route is not recommended.

Location

This route follows the southeast shoulder of Beehive, keeping just to the right of the via ferrata. The route is novice-friendly due to the adequate pro, easy bailout potential to the via ferrata, and relatively short pitches with good leader/belayer communication. Start 10 feet right of the via ferrata start.
