Description
This route climbs the right hand crack system on the Southeast face (the face opposite the mouth of Culvert Canyon).
P1- Start in some kind of loose rock protected by a bolt about 10 feet up. Then climb the first tier of the roof through a thin hands slot to some huge jugs. Then climb the next 10 foot roof with fists to a 5.10 offwidth above. The belay is bolted. 5.11
P2- Climb a 5.10 offwidth/squeeze through a weird loose flake. After the flake the crack splits. Go left to a small ledge. Climb up and left from there through some very scary loose rock to an unprotected 5.8 corner above to a two bolt belay on a big ledge just below the summit.
Scramble to the summit and downclimb (one hard move off the ledge.
Descent- Rappel the route in one 60 meter rappel or two shorter ones.
This route has a few sections of really bad rock, but for the most part is excellent. The 20 foot roof on the first pitch is great!
Protection
A couple sets of cams from #0.5 Camalot to #4 Camalot.
