Description
A dirty approach pitch is rewarded with quality crack climbing for 3 short pitches with fingers, hands and OW.
P1: 5.6 80’ dirty, solo or rope up for slab, not much pro. 1 bolt on the slab.
P2: 5.10a 80’ is a fun flake to fingers pitch. 2 bolts on face above flake.
P3: 5.10b 70’ starts OW, take 2 #5’s to prevent a ledge fall, it’s a committing lieback to hands.
P4: 5.9 40’ fingers & tight hands.
Nice ledges and bolted anchors all the way.
Aces High, The Zulim Variation and Quickdraw provide some alternative routes while up on the ledges.
Location
The start is dirty, there’s a protection bolt on slab. The splitter cracks above are obvious. An open area with talus at the base. Near the top of the hill on the upper right side. Good photo of Four Kings on the main Danland MP page.
Protection
0.2” - 5”. A single rack would probably do ok but doubles of 0.3”- 2” and two #5’s will sew it up nicely. 60m rope.
