Layback

FA Fritz Wiessner, George Temple, 1941

Description

A fun route that will test your chimney and layback technique.

Start about 10' left of Inverted Layback at a left-facing chimney/corner with a big chockstone about 15' up. This is about 75' left of Disneyland.

P1: Struggle to the top of the chockstone, climb up to the corner, and layback (what else?) up to a good belay ledge with a fixed anchor (slings and rings). 5.5, 60'.

P2: Climb up right to the airy arete, pass an overhang, and continue to the top. 5.4, 60'.

The climb can be done in one pitch without too much rope drag. To descend, walk climbers' right along the clifftop until it is possible, just before the road, to easily scramble down to the base.
