Description

Warning: a 60m rope just makes it to the ground from the first pitch anchors. If you’re going to toprope the climb, leave a few directionals in the lower part of the climb.

This climb has great views of Pike's Peak, The Dungeon, and Tan Corridor.

These 2 pitches can be climbed as one long pitch, but the rope drag sucks, and lot of draws will needed to belay from the first set of anchors.

The 1st pitch start a few left of the wide crack. Wander up the face. At the overhang, there are three variations right, left, and center. At the overhang, keep left of the bolt to keep it at the 5.8+ level, the center variation is the hardest at 5.10, and right of bolt is 5.9+/5.10-. Be CAREFUL, as there is a slab below. Continue up the face to the anchors with Mussy hooks.

The 2nd pitch is 55 feet. Wander up the face to a set of anchors. There are no Mussy hooks yet.
