5.9+ 5c 17 VI 17 E1 5a R 145 ● S-Direct Nov 1, 2025 · 9 pitches. Lead / Fell/Hung. P6: Me lead. I followed P5 cleanly and was stoked to keep rolling into the second slab pitch. I the first bolt was reasonable, but just as I was about to clip the second bolt, the crystal under my left foot crumbled and I could not recover my traction quickly enough. I think it is about 30 feet between bolts, but Oz was able to pull in some slack as I fell. In the end I think it was about 50 ft. of airtime. I ended up a little bruised on my left side, but no injuries. I tried to quickly recover my pride and was able to climb the pitch clean on the second go. Clipping that bolt, however, is not the end of the pitch. The angle does ease-up a bit, but you do have to keep it together past a small flake for pro and then another 30 or so feet to to a small roof where you can get a few more pieces of gear in. I set up the belay on the rappel anchors about 40 ft. below the big roof. P7: Oz lead. Really fun slab climbing up to the big roof/corner. Oz went right around the roof and had to deal with a lot of rope-drag before setting up the belay just beyond. P8: My lead. Basically a scramble up easy 5th class terrain. I slung one tree in over 150 ft. and brought Oz up on a hip belay. P9: Scrambled up to the start of the descent route. We skipped the summit block due to shortage of time. Descent: follow the summit ridge uphill until the obvious climbers path leads downhill and east to a big pine. Follow the path down and slightly east to an obvious cliff with drilled anchors. 60m rope gets you exactly to the base, just above a tree with a cable/sling anchor. The second rap gets you to the gully. We went straight south staying on the skier's right side of the gully and scrambled down until we hit the obvious choke with more drilled rap anchors. 60m rope gets you down this.

5.9+ 5c 17 VI 17 E1 5a R 145 ● S-Direct Nov 1, 2025 · 9 pitches. Lead / Fell/Hung. Swapped leads with Oz. Scrambled the first pitch and the last. Oz fell twice on the first slab pitch but sent it clean on his third try. I fell at the last possible moment before the 2nd bolt on the second slab pitch when the crystal under my left foot crumbled. I fell clear past Oz. Probably 50+ feet. So wild! Definitely the furthest I’ve ever fallen. Luckily it was totally clean and the manky old bolts have recently been replaced with shiny stainless steel glue-in bolts. I gathered myself and sent on the second try. There is lots of slab after the bolts with only a few options for gear. So fun!! We counted nine total pitches. Six hours round trip from the gate buttress parking lot. P1: scrambled up ledges toward Coyne Crack and then left into the main gully until it becomes steep enough to rope up. P2: my lead. Go straight up the obvious gully through a few vertical sections. Mostly easy with a few sections of tricky problem solving. Ended at the bomber anchors. P3: Oz lead. Used the variation that goes right, up the face toward the tree filled corner in good cracks. A little tricky but lots of good gear. Pitch was about 150 feet and ended above the trees and below the awesome hand/fist crack that angles right. P4: My lead. Quick climbing up fun and easy cracks, trending right, until you get to lunch ledge. Set up belay around a big boulder on the right side. P5: Oz lead. Straight up the dark colored corner system with tons of chicken-heads. Steep climbing on really solid features with good gear. The crack gets progressively smaller as you approach the transition from corner to the main slab. You can exit right on to good featured slab dishes and place a few more finger sized cams before the crack ends and you're committed to the slab. The first bolt is heady but the crux comes just before the belay anchor after 3 bolts. The third bolt is bar far the most run-out and blowing it before that clip would be bad.
