Y Slab

FA Known
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

The 50 meter Y Slab has been scrubbed by avalanches and snow creep, rendering a clean, easy slab studded with pockets for protection and jugs for gripping. The Right Y is a beautiful pitch of 5.5. Left of the Left Y is a classic 5.8- and the Left Arête is 5.6, even the overhang has big holds and good protection.

The hardest we could find was a 5.10 mini arch, overhang at ground level.

4th class up an easier 2nd pitch; then scramble left or right to trail at Petzolt Caves.

Or sling white bark pine at 55m and rap.

Location

In the Grand Teton avalanche path west of Spalding Falls. Y Slab obvious.

Protection

1 to 2 sets cams, 1 set wires for pro and anchor. (no fixed anchors) scramble off left. Long sling for a tree at 55m if rapping.
