Description
An easy face climb, passing many horizontals.
Approach: Use the access trail that heads up just where there Stairmaster reaches the Carriage Trail, a 4-minute walk from the Uberfall. At the cliff, walk left and locate Arch, a prominent rock arch above the East Trapps Connector Trail. Ribs starts at the prominent, hanging arete well below the right side of the arch.
P1: Gain the large arete from the side, then traverse over to the middle of the face on the right. Climb nearly a straight line up to the GT ledge, with one or two overhang moves just before the finish. 5.5, 130'. You can also stop at the bolted rap station at 80'; this is a common toproping spot for beginners and guided groups.
P2: Off the GT ledge, easy face climbing with horizontals up to the final large ledge 5.4. From the final ledge, go right 50 feet to climb the Gorilla my Dreams P3 5.5 roof, or climb straight from the chains through the Callisthenic P2 (5.7) roof, or rappel.
Descent: There are three bolted rap stations that serve this and nearby routes.
