Chick Dead, Dog Killed It

Description

First pitch: From the anchor stance go straight up until the bolts start heading right. Follow the stellar patina plates up the face. Move right on the ramp to the Tricky Goldy anchors to continue to the top.

Second pitch: Walk the plank on the grainy ramp until you can clip a bolt. Continue up good rock over a few roof or two on some giant huecos. Could be a bit exposed and run out, but that's why you came up here right? Move right after going over the last roof to an anchor on the slab.

Third pitch: One bolt on the slab protects a single move of 5.6 slab. Saw a guy who has done a 5.13 take tension right here. Continue up the black water streak to an anchor.

To get off, head down a slight chimney to climbers left and find the bolted rap anchors. 3 double rope rappels.

Location

Pitch one follows the best rock up and then right on spectacular plates. You can go straight up to an anchor if you are only doing the first pitch. To continue onto the summit, follow the ramp to the right and use the Tricky Goldy anchors as the end of the first pitch.

Protection

Bolts and bolt anchors.
