Description
In my bias opinion; this climb f*cking rules! ..find out for yourself.
Pitch 1: 10c Start in the left facing ow to hands crack. Follow the bolts up and then right. This pitch is a bit loose and dirty. ( getting cleaner, but still not why you're here ) Gear: #3 and draws.
Pitch 2: 11c The Crux pitch. Hard, sustained, excellent! Face traverse into the base of the flake. There are bolts for pro, gear is not a good idea behind the flake. Once the flake ends, crack switch left at the bolt and head up with some funky footwork and layback moves to a rest. Follow the crack up through various sizes to a rest before the final hard thin hands crux. Mantel onto the Party Ledge and celebrate!
Pitch 3: 11b Great fingers to a #.75 bulge; hand crack traverse left and up. After the traverse, instead of going up the OW, face traverse left around the large block to the anchor.
-Lower back down to the Party Ledge and either pull the rope or get a free TR on “DTFnC”
“DT Fluff ‘n Chug” aka Variation 29: 11a This is a variation on pitch 3. Tips and fingers with face holds on excellent rock. Another great pitch!
Pitch 4: 5.10 Face climbing with bolts and gear. 2 qd's, 3 runners, and a #2 is all you really need ( #1 & #3 optional ). When the route traverses right to a hard looking mantle with a loose x-block, take a right and keep traversing to the next bolt, then mantel. Ends on steep hands to a 3 bolt anchor. From the anchor walk up and left to the main summit.
Enjoy!!
( very sunny till late afternoon )
