The Swallow

FA Chuck Wilts and Royal Robbins, June 1952

Description

This long, classic route is a good choice on a hot day. It starts just to the right of the prominent dihedral of Whodunit. Climb one or two moderate pitches up a crack system that splits the face, ending on a good ledge. Go up and left, then back right along a crack until it joins a larger crack system. Two more pitches up this crack system lead up to an obvious belay spot. The crux pitch involves a short splitter finger jam over an overhang, with good protection. Easier (5.6 and 5.7) crack pitches lead to the top.
