Description

Pitch 1

Follow a large east crack and slab section for about 100 feet to the top and belay using gear just below a tree with a small roof right above and to the right. You could possibly belay off of the tree itself but the rope would probably get stuck in a crack.

Pitch 2

Climb over the small roof and reach up to grab a jug that you can’t see from below. The. Continue up through very low angle slab and belay in any of the many cracks that will appear after about 100 feet it’s a little run out because of the slab but a fall is very unlikely.

Pitch 3

Continue towards the summit across very easy slab. Your call weather you want to use the rope. It’s more like 4th class at this point but some of the rock is slippery with gravel in spots and a slip would be bad. Once it flattens out even more belay at a crack. I used hip belay because of how low angle it was towards the end. Then coil the rope and continue on up the last 30 feet to the summit

Location

It is located on the far right side of the face, you will have to look around the corner to find the first large crack.

Protection

Standard rack, some bigger pieces are helpful
