Description
P1 Overgrown face right of Sticky Gate boulder. Wasp makes a better first pitch.
If coming from Wasp, move the belay 50 feet right along the GT Ledge, passing a large pine below Sticky Gate Direct and a few small bushy trees until below a vague blocky right facing corner capped by a roof blocking your view of the route with a pine tree grown against the rock. Belay from a .75/ #1 horizontal.
P2 Climb loose rock up a vague right facing corner, escaping left at the low roof, move up on jugs, traverse right and up until moving onto the face above becomes easy. Head right toward a hanging left facing corner. The original route (5.7) traversed further right here and up a face lost to lichen. A recommended Rich Romano variation (5.10b) pulls into the hanging left facing corner, climbs up until a horizontal, escaping right onto the face. Wander through thick lichen to the top of the cliff and belay off a tree. Descend Roger’s Escape Hatch.
