Epitaph

This is the free version of Playing Hooky with an additional challenge: no hanging belays.

Dean And Steph originally freed Playing Hooky in 2001 using the aid line belays. Two years later they freed it again, linking pitches 2 and 3 with a 70 meter rope to avoid a hanging belay.

P1: 5.10+.

P2: 5.13. Climb to and up the dihedral.

P3: 5.12-. Loose and runout. Open book to the summit.

Descent: 3 options. 1)Walk down the trail (best). 2) Rap. 3) BASE jump.

The clear crack up the center of the Tombstone.  See Playing Hooky.

Desert rack. Extra small pieces for the dihedral. 70 meter rope for full value.
