Description

This route is 5 pitches but only pitches 1 and 2 are described here. The dihedral on pitch three never went free and above it the rock quality deteriorates. Message me if you want info on 3-5.

Pitch 1 - 5.10, 140'. Mega! Stellar sustained 5.10 fingers. Forty feet of 5.9 face lead to the limestone band. Work through it and a cruxy section just above and you'll hit the fingers. Fingers and more fingers with a brief easy OW section then back to fingers. At about 100 feet above the limestone band step right to a two bolt semi-hanging belay.

Pitch 2 - 5.10-, 50'. Work through a few right-angling awkward moves and then up easier terrain to a two-bolt belay at the base of the dihedral.

Rappel - Rap 190' back to your packs.

Location

The obvious right-angling crack system on the north face of the Lighthouse
