Description
Easy trad multi-pitch route.
1st pitch. (5.5) Stars of a narrow chimney-looking path. Follow the crack into a ledge, and follow one of the two cracks on top of a small boulder. Switch cracks, continue through the crack to the anchor. Rap rings.
2nd pitch. (5.6) Follow the crack as it curves to the left. Once the crack ends, the anchor is next to it. Bolted anchor
3rd pitch. (5.8) The money pitch. Crux right off the bat. Once setting the stances, follow the thin crack as it traverses left into a ledge and walk over a narrow flake. Bolted anchor.
4th pitch. (5.8) Climb a 20ft chimney, place a #6 right at the end, top it out, follow the wide cravise until it ends, then top out. Built an anchor at the far end of the wall.
To get down, either look for an anchor going to the right around the big boulder on top to get down via the south face, or walk west and find the anchor of Guts to Open. 70m rope is a must.
