Description

Without a doubt the area's wildest and most spectacular finish. Climb the wall beneath the impressive-looking square-cut roof approximately 60' from A Winter's Tale. PITCH 1: Climb the broken crack in the middle of the wall to the highest pine tree that is in line with the left side of the roof (5.4, 80'). PITCH 2: Climb up and right from the pine belay back to the middle of the wall and a series of small roofs and overlaps (5.9) to the granddaddy finish (5.10+, 100'). The crux goes out a 7-8' horizontal roof, following a jagged "S" finger crack into a hand traverse/heel hook section and then through the overhanging notch finale. Perhaps 25' of crux in all. Pump Factor High. Gear placements abound - if you can let go long enough to get it in!

Location

Look for the largest roof down trail that is blocky and start to the left of it
