Description
This route includes the only splitter I have been able to find at Emigrant wall. Pity the crack is only 15 feet long. Sections of steep slab made easier by good edges make up the rest of the route before the usual slab trudge.
Pitch 1. 35M. 5.8 (9 bolts) equipped with an open system lower off.
Slick slab moves gatekeep the start. No moves on the route are harder than the first 2 bolts. A splitter adds some variety to the slab at 65 ft. Finger sized trad gear is optional.
Pitch 2. 35M. 5.8 (11 bolts) 2 bolt anchor
Technical slab climbing leads to a dihedral to lieback and then climb over to yet more steep clean slab.
Pitch 3. 70M. 5.7 (8 bolts) 2 bolt anchor
A few real climbing moves off the anchor quickly turn into the normal slog up low angle rock.
After the pitch 3 anchor left and up to join "Winches and Windlasses" just before the pitch 4 anchor of that route. From here you can continue up class 4 terrain to the top or rap to the bottom. 70M or equivalent needed.
