King of P

The Williams Wall at the far end of the Nears has many fine climbs that would be quite crowded if found nearer to the road. This area is somewhat like the Guides Wall area in the Trapps. It is easily recognized as the clean, appealing slabby area near the end of the cliff.

This route is at the far end of this pleasant area. It is cleaner than many in the area and avoids the large, slightly loose overhanging section common to other routes around it. The descent to the left is relatively short and easy. There is some loose rock near the top so be careful with beginners. Start at the appealing finger crack instead of the line shown in the guidebooks. A good route for a beginning leader.

This is commonly done in two short pitches.

P1: Climb the crack to a large tree. 5.3, 75'.

P2(Little White Mushroom): Continue up to the roofy area and left to the top. 5.3, 50'.

Standard Gunks rack.
