Description
We only call this route a First Recorded Ascent, as I'm sure people have rock climbed around this cliff before. We found no evidence of prior roped ascents.
I'm hoping this will become a popular easy(ish) route over time. The belays are comfortable and bolted with rappel anchors (I still need to get a couple quick links and rings on the last pitch anchor. There are carabiners on there now.)
Pitch 1:
Start at the lowest part of the cliff. Climb straight up for 3 bolts. Then climb either straight up (loose, but wedged block) to the next bolt or traverse up and right to the 4th bolt then move left to the next bolt.. Continue up slightly left to a weakness and a cam. Surmount the bulge onto the slab. Continue straight up past two more bolts to a two bolt anchor. 120' 5.6
Pitch 2:
Climb diagonally up left past a bolt and a piece of gear up to a ledge 50'. Climb up angular holds to a gritty bulge past more bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. 140' 5.6?
Pitch 3:
Climb straight up the white line past 2 bolts and gear to a 2 bolt anchor. 100' 5.4
Rappel the route with 2 ropes.
On the first ascent, we continued to the top where there is an anchor on a tree for the ice route. We decided to terminate our route lower to avoid the continually wet moss and protect its fragility.
