Description
A fun adventure through consistently variable and interesting terrain. Sometimes the rock is dirty, lichen-covered, and chossy. Other times it's immaculate white quartz. Would be a classic if it were scrubbed.
P1 - Climb to a fixed piton at about 15'. Continue higher, navigating through lichen, broken rock, and some runouts to reach a shrubby ledge at the right side of the pinnacle. Climb the arete, making a few airy and well-protected moves to reach a comfortable ledge on top of the pinnacle. Belay off one of the two pine trees. (70', 5.6 R)
P2 - Climb just to the right of the pine trees and into a left-facing flake system. Make an easy foot traverse out right, and then crank through the overhang with a good finger lock (fixed blue DMM offset stopper). Traverse right about 45' through a band of beautiful white quartz, crossing over the route "Hang 'Em High", to reach another pine tree belay at the base of a large, left-facing corner. (115', 5.9)
P3 - Use the pine tree to get established in the shallow left-facing corner. A No. 3 camalot protects a pull onto a ledge using a spooky hollow block . Follow the corner cracks above, escaping left under several roofs. Move into the shrubby short chimney system before finally breaking right onto the face. Make some easy, well-protected moves to reach the summit. (100', 5.8 R)
