Description
P-1 115' 5.9 A crack moves to the left towards a pine tree at 30'. Now double hand cracks split the face which merge into a single finger crack at a large bush, then up to a ledge and a rap anchor. A good first pitch, 2nd pitch a bit dirty with lichen and bushes but still good climbing.
P-2 200' 5.9 Take the thin crack above the anchor to the middle wide crack 20' up. Step to the right of the bush and enter the flare with hand and fist jams then to a ledge. Follow the arete with a mix of small cams, bolts and wires to a small headwall with bushes. Move right to the last bolt up to a large ledge. Another short wide crack (#4 here) lets you move right to the dihedral and top out with a gear anchor. Use the tree raps to the west of Echo Eater. 70M rope necessary.
