Description

This route sort of follows the ridge line from right to left on the lowest West-facing rock formation. Start far right on the southernmost rock formation heading up a slab with some cracks, possibly the furthest rightmost route on the wall before turning into broken blocks facing south.

P1. Head up and slightly trending left to a series of cracks and slabs, and aim to go in the middle of two trees above. It’s almost a full 70m pitch. Build an anchor before a steep headwall, 220’, 5.6.

P2. There are multiple options to go up the headwall. We went to the left and then up a right-angling crack which plopped us on the ridge line. Head right towards the trees and sling and anchor, 115’, 5.8-.

P3. We untied and moved the rope climber's right 30’ past the big tree (you should be standing on a big ledge before the final headwall) to the base of the twin cracks leading up to the actual summit. Head up the twin cracks, and follow the crack up. After pulling the bulge, jog up the ridge, and build an anchor among the blocks at the top, 115’,  5.9.

Location

Follow the West-facing wall downwards until the lower wall starts curving to the south. The base of the climb is covered in pine needles with no loose rocks. Refer to the pictures for where the start is.

Protection

A standard double rack with a #4 is what we used. We had some gear to spare.
