Description

Climb the first 15-20 feet of Pineapple, then bust to the right up a bolted arete with some gear near the top. Step back left above the roof and tip-toe up the lower angle arete/crack above before rejoining with the final 30 feet of Pineapple.

Best to do it in one long pitch as there is only a marginal belay stance near the top. It's probably possible to escape right to Foxtrot after pulling the crux, but then you'd end up on the opposite side of the buttress and you'd miss the fun arete finish.

Descend via the standard Pineapple Buttress rappel anchors.

Location

Start as for Pineapple, then break right to the arete.

Protection

Double rack (BD .3-3), stoppers, 6 bolts, long slings.
