Description
-
Go up the chimney, move left on the narrow ledge, and climb the face (crux) past two large horizontals and a large tree Continue up and right on easy ground, move right around a nose, then belay at the tree above. 5.8, 90 feet.
-
Go straight up from the belay to a ledge below a left-facing corner. Swing out on jugs (crux) then up and right to a belay tree. 5.9 (5.6 in the 1972 guide), 60 feet.
The first pitch up to the tree is a short, pleasant 5.8. The protection on the second pitch could be better, but if you look around and think creatively, you should be safe.
Pretty exciting crux move; too bad the rest of the pitch is mediocre, at best.
Location
About 50-60 feet right of Easter Time Too; you will see the chimney (which is formed by a huge detached block) and the narrow ledge (This is about 25 feet up and there is a small tree near its left end).
Protection
Standard 'Gunks rack.
