Description

P1. 5.9, 4 bolts, 50m? Start off far right side of large ledge above streaked cliff band that extends climber's left of main wall. Climb up short left-facing dihedral, then up face above past bolts to the base of main large dihedral. Build gear belay.

P2/3. 5.8, 3 bolts. Up to 70m. Bolts are on the RIGHT hand wall. (I discovered 3rd bolt after protecting on gear to that point.)  Climb dihedral until past 3rd bolt you can pull over the right wall using flake and good holds. Wild move! Once on the arete, work up face on knobs. Belay on knobs wherever OR  continue to visible distant anchor for Crossing the Milky Way.

P4. Finish on last pitch of Crossing the Milky Way. Climb up and left to skyline wherever comfortable to summit blocks, build belay on gear.

Location

Climb starts on the right side of large ledge above streaked cliff, right of 2 pine trees. With eye on beautiful dihedral, start is at logical place to access the dihedral. Going up descent trail, break right as soon as possible.

Protection

Pro to 3", slings for knobs, draws
