Selaginella
Oct 17, 2024 · 2 pitches. Lead / Onsight. First pitch is physical, but not too bad. Put all gear on left side as there are sections you have to climb right side in. DO NOT clip piton before p3 traverse, creates terrible rope drag! On p3, look for bolt on the left for traverse. Clip bolt and go around corner past the bolt. Can go high or low, staying low seems easier.

Commitment
Oct 17, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Pretty easy climbing. Low crux not bad, can get hand jams, not too thin. Rock is a little smooth, but some small in cuts for feet. Roof not really too hard. Climb left then up to roof. Put some pro in the small crack while climbing left, then no gear until you get up to the roof after the easy climbing. Use two slings to extend pro in roof to avoid rope drag. In roof, swim hands through the roof, palms facing away from you. Right hand out to horn for lie back, bump left hand once more in roof, move feet, then come around corner. Get high hands and use horn to stand.
