Description

Pitch 1 (easy 5th): A short approach pitch gets you up to a ledge just beneath the big, right-facing corner. Gear anchor. (If you're comfortable with very limited or no protection on this pitch, it can be easily linked into pitch 2, but any protection on this pitch will result in rope drag when you get near the top of pitch 2.)

Pitch 2 (10b): Climb the right-facing book. As it starts to curve to the right and become a roof, escape over the roof to a bolt, then to a three-bolt anchor (historical note: one of these is the original anchor bolt from the FA of Space Probe, the other two are 1/2" stainless steel Powers bolts added October 2019).

Pitch 3 (10d?): Climb the thin slab to the right through two bolts to the right side of a small roof that takes a small-medium cam. Turn the roof and follow four more bolts to a bolted anchor.

Pitch 4 (9): Follow features up the left-facing corner to a large horizontal ledge (bring your brass nuts if you want to feel safe here). Follow the ledge left to a two bolt anchor (intermediate - a new "final" bolted anchor with rap rings was added at the summit in June 2021). Easy 5th from this intermediate anchor to the summit.
