Rookie Stripes

Description

Sit start on good holds on a shelf, make a few moves out the steep into a positive sloper, slap up and left around the corner and follow crimps up an arête feature eventually escaping onto the slab. Easily the best problem i've climbed on Granite Mountain and a contender for one of the best in the area. This boulder may have been discovered and climbed in the past, not 100% sure so please let me know if anyone claims an ascent prior to 2019.  

Location

From Williamson Valley trailhead, hike south taking the first left at the gate, walk for approximately a mile where you will reach another gate. Continue through the gate to trail 345 (Mint Wash Trail) for another 20 minutes. You will find a small trailside boulder with holds and Rookie Stripes is directly behind, towards the mountain. 

Protection

2-3 pads is nice to have
