Description
Looking for the easiest way to the top of the wormhole formation, I aid soloed the NW ridge using a combination of beaks in a seam and removable bolts. Afterward, I bolted it for free climbing.Later I came here with Mike and he sent the thin mantle and slab moves. To approach, go to the back of the wormhole formation and carefully cross "The Catwalk". belay from a tree and/or the first bolt, and climb up and right, pulling around the short roof on worsening holds with balancy moves. Then scramble 30 feet of lower angle ridge. Beautiful views of Wolf Rock and the volcanoes.
Location
When behind/uphill from the wormhole, the right skyline.
Protection
6 ish bolts. Three bolt anchor at the summit, positioned for rappel down any aspect, but not fit for lower (too far from the lip)
