Description

This isn't a route per se and found often wet. Falling at any point is not advisable.This is one of the two places to ascend the island.At first there was one bolt intended for practice hauling with 3-to-1 or 5-to-1 pulley. Presently there are two bolts which confuse the uninformed. There isn't a third or a bolt system up there. Climbing with draws can make it safer but there's no anchor. Using extending draws will greatly reduce rope drag though the result is negligible in zero-sum games when you still crater.Start on the face right of the prominent and wet crack. Follow the crack up and left going through a wet spot. Traverse left to clip another pin. Continue left again at the obvious point to avoid climbing the bulge. Continue up to where a large camalot (#4-#5) may help reduce the "R/X" factor of this top section. Once finished, there are options available for rappelling back to the ground.

Location

Located between the Arete and the Sandbox, closer to the Sandbox than The Arete.

Protection

A cool head and someone with a cell phone if you spit off. I've rescued a few from this acent over the years.
