Howling

FA Bob Scarpelli, Tom Callahan, and John Strand, 1983.

Description

Do some hard face moves of the ground in a right-leaning crack system. Work way up to left leaning flying buttress, avoiding loose blocks on the way. Pull through chossy lip (crux?) and belay. There are no anchors.

Location

Climb up the chossy gully just right of

Pooh Corner

and belay. It looks like two starts are available: one in the middle of the face and one in the corner. The middle start is much more aesthetic.

To get off, walk right and rappel

Black Starr Chimney

.

Protection

A few hand-sized cams, and a few small cams or nut, plus 3 hand-sized pieces for the anchors. An anchor could be built by slinging some large boulders with the rope.
