Far up in Echo Canyon, voices and bird calls began to fade away, swallowed by the rows of gullies and large pines. It's a beautiful and solitude environment for those willing to make the hike. Expect an Alpine setting with occasional bushes and lichen but excellent climbing.
P-1 120' 5.7 Scramble up about 50' to the base of the shallow dihedral. The pitch starts out with some bushes and trees then into the parallel cracks. Belay on a large ledge with a single 1/2" bolt anchor. This keeps you out of rockfall zone.
P-2 135' 5.9 Begin with parallel hand cracks. These soon turn into fist jams thru the wide section then finish with hand jams. Now a slab with a thin crack moves to the left into large blocks with horizontal cracks. Another thin diagonal crack takes you right into a corner and up to a large pine for the belay. Sustained pitch with good pro.
Descent: Go west 30' and drop down about 20' in a gully to a pine tree. Probably best to be roped up. Rap 35M to another ledge with a pine tree on the west edge. Rap 35M to a walk off into the main gully. No webbing on the trees, just rap the rope around the trunk, pulls easy.
Uphill from Light Bender about 2 gullies
double rack .2 thru 4", wires. 70M rope for this route. 2 35M raps
