Description
Pitch 1 - 5.10c (~ 180') - Start up the moderate slab, follow the line of new stainless steel bolts past an intermediate anchor) then onto the golden face to the 2nd anchor (crux). 9 bolts.
Pitch 2 - 5.9 (~200') - From the belay climb straight up clipping a couple bolts. Climb up some flakes, over a small bulge then onto the headwall above. Build a gear anchor at the summit of the dome. Bolts and gear to 1"
Walk off or rap by find the hidden bolted anchor about 30' climber's right.
Note - Sadly the FA did not add a chain or links to the P1 anchor. We left a sling and leaver biners, but the next party should bring some chain to facilitate rapping off P1.
Note 2 - There a variation to P1, at the intermediate anchor instead of heading straight up cut left and climb past 3 bolts to regain the same 2nd anchor This by-passes the 5.10c crux, keeping the grade at 5.9. Variation - Geeking Medium
