Chapulín Corner

Description

This is the obvious right-facing corner as you see it on the approach trail. It's a very striking feature that unfortunately bears terrible rock. For the true choss aficionado only.

Pitch 1 (5.8, 100 feet): Start in the left-facing corner as for Roast Beast, but pass the first tree on its left side, moving up a slabby left-facing corner/arch and past a mellow face/slab to a two-bolt chain anchor on the big halfway ledge.

Pitch 2 (5.10-, 100 feet): Climb the big corner to the top of the formation. The start has twin crack systems - take the right one, in which scary broken finger cracks lead past several tiny teetering ledges to an obvious/natural crossover left into the main corner. Finally, some good varnished sandstone! Soon followed by a couple squishy mud layers. Hands, fists, and offwidth up to the final chockstone move. You survived! Belay from one of two trees.

Rappel the route (2x 100')

Location
