Description

Adding this route to the list of gully climbs in this section because it appears in the beta photo for the area but is not mentioned elsewhere. Probably the easiest of the routes up Celo, very similar to Left Wishbone and Crescent in characteristics. It has one short almost vertical 10ft step that is WI2 or WI3- depending on the ice. Otherwise it is fairly low angle, but is more narrow and has less wide open slab than the others. This route joins the top of Left Wishbone for a shared finish to the summit of Celo Knob. This route can also be done as a non-ice 4th class scramble but has way less dry rock than Left Wishbone, so be prepared for scrambling up wet rock or bailing into the rhodo and moss along the sides to get around wet slippery sections.

Location

Approach is the same as Left Wishbone, just go a little farther north past the Left Wishbone drainage to the next drainage. Ascend the route till it joins with Left Wishbone. Swim through the steep rhodo thicket at the top to the summit of Celo Knob. Take the Black Mountain Crest trail back to the Woody Ridge trail to get back to the car.

Protection

Ice screws if there is ice. Also lots of places for trad gear if not covered in ice.
