The Hounds

FA Todd Swain and Mark Wallace, 1986

UPDATED 

Description

Start in a chimney formed by the right side of a huge block leaning against the cliff; the same as Dog-Stick-Ridge link-up. Climb the chimney to a ledge, then traverse out right through an open book/ finger crack. At the end of the crack, traverse left under the roof, then fire straight up the face.

Location

About 15 feet right of Baskerville Terrace, at a large block leaning against the wall that forms a right-facing chimney.

Protection

Initially the pro is good, but in the crux you are clipping old, bad pitons that are half-out. Just before the crux and just after the crux you get bomber gear, but after that gear there is not much until you get to the communal anchor.
