Fat Stick

FA Jim McCarthy, Hans Kraus, 1957

Description

The first pitch of this route is a nice, deceptively hard 5.7. Starting on the left side, climb an elegant arete to a notch in the roof above and pull through into the short open book above. Traverse left to a corner and belay; this is as far as most people go (a rap anchor is usually here).

The second pitch can either go up and left to Baskerville Terrace or up and right to Yellow Ridge: Traverse left under the roof about 30' to an obstructive tree. Go up and right to link to the fantastic P3 of Yellow Ridge, or swing out left to link to P3 of Baskerville Terrace.

Location

Left of Yellow Ridge a long roof is broken by a nose - this is Fat Stick.

Protection
