Description
May be tempting for belayer to scramble up low angle slab as well to bottom of crack but easier/more comfortable to belay from the approach.
Pitch 1: 105’ 5.9 Start at low angle slabs and climb till you reach the obvious vertical crack. There is a place to put a number 4 to protect a tumble back down then continue up with minimal gear placement options till the crack narrows. Pull the first ledge and follow straight up the next positive angle offwidth/stem section. Gain the next large ledge to top pitch 1.
Pitch 2: 55’ 5.7 Follow the right leaning slightly overhung crack in front of you for another 8’. Low class 4-5 scrambling remains from there till you find better anchor placements for small gear up higher.
Climb can be done in one pitch. Recommend breaking it into 2 pitches to avoid excessive rope drag. Either the first or second ledge can be used but there are more options for gear on the second ledge. Descent is going to be a scramble back down the “regular route” used by hikers to climb the stack.
