Ian Cruickshank on pitch 1 Photo by Al Hospers |
Hike left toward the end of the main cliff band looking for a clean slab with shiny bolts, just before a buttress. The climb starts on a small ledge about 10 feet up and just right of the slab. |
The first pitch is nice face climbing. The second wanders to the left on mediocre rock.
Pitch 1: Face climb past 3 bolts to a good placement for a small cam in a horizontal on the left. Then up past another bolt through an overlap (crux) to a nice 2-bolt anchor.
Pitch 2: Wander up and left from the belay on generally good rock past 3 bolts and small gear. Traverse left to a double bolt anchor.
Pitch 3: Optionally traverse left and finish on Cakewalk.

Standard rack with some small cams.

Rappel all the way to the ground from the anchors on pitch 2 using two 60 meter ropes. |
