Description
An easy, fun and nice option in the far upper right section of the slabs. May be part of some variations of Beginner Easy but I have not been able to find any info about it. Finally climbed it and enjoyed it a lot.
The ramp has no protection, but is mostly fun 5.3 climbing apart from the crux which is in the lower half. It's a couple of 5.5 moves and similar in nature to the start of the "Platinum Slab" pitch of "Cormier-Magness".If you climb "Cormier-Magness Indirect" this provides a great alternate option to finish off the "Gritty McDuff" pitch. After the second bolt, instead of veering left to the trees and the anchor of the regular "Cormier-Magness", go up and right and you will be right at the start of this ramp. Climb to the top and anchor at the tree. 220' (so a 70m is required).One can also do this from the regular "Cormier-Magness" route. On the upper part of the "Low Beer Light Pitch" you veer right towards the ramp. A little before the ramp you can build an anchor in a long thin horizontal crack. Then climb the ramp itself. A 70m may not be long enough to go all way to the top of the ramp.
From tree and top of ramp, go left and join the "Platinum Slab" pitch of "Cormier-Magness" (just before its first bolt). Continue to top of pitch and two bolt anchor. 180'
Location
It's located just to the right of "The Chaser" pitch of "Cormier-Magness Indirect".
Protection
None. A bolt would be nice, but the crux is low and the rest is fun and easy.
