Description

At the beginning of the Uberfall, start on a blazed trail above the carriage road, under the same ceiling as 69

The first pitch is a cool climb. It makes a great top rope at the end of the day, and kind of challenging for its grade. It's easy to set up a top rope on Pitch 1 by walking/scrambling up in between Short Job and Nice 5.9 Climb .  The second pitch is highly recommended!

P1: Follow the crack to a large ledge. Climb the next right-facing corner to ceiling and exit left (crux) to another ledge. Through the jumbled blocks, an overhang, and a short face to a large belay ledge with a small tree at the edge. 5.3, 50'.

From the top of P1, you can walk off to climbers' left to a 5.1 downclimb, or much farther climbers' left to an easy trail that requires no downclimbing.

P2: Climb a left-leaning ramp , then follow a long diagonal crack which beginning leaders may find a bit pumpy, in to a overhanging crux finish and a belay with a view. 5.5. Walk off left. 80'.

Protection

Standard Gunks rack. G-PG. Static/webbing to set up TR for first pitch.
