Description

Easily one of the best or the best route in the Anthony lakes area. Fun movement and relatively solid rock for the area makes it a fun route.

P1: 5.8: Climb a slab ramp into some jams pulling a roof. Do some easier climbing to the base of the corner. Build the anchor.

P2: 5.9+ or 5.10a: Climb the corner by pressing, pushing and grunting your way through. This is the crux and it is protected by two bolts. Stay away from the left arete which goes at 5.7. Keep climbing until you reach the anchor which is two bolts.

P3: Optional last pitch of climbing that goes at around 5.7 that leads to a walk off. Recommended to rap the route with a 70m rope to the tree near p1 anchor instead of topping out due to chossy rocks.

Background Info: This area was first developed by Dave Jenson, Mead Hargis and Dave Coughlin in the 70s. If you see old bolts or pitons it is likely from them.
