Crumbling Under Pressure

Description

If you want the challenge of sustained non-positive holds including some long deadpoints, this is the route to show your stuff - in the context of some different rock situations.

Likely much more difficult for non-tall climbers.

Up the outside corner / arete, next left on ledge with broken rock. Then up non-broken face to the top (wishing it were more broken?).

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber - (and if possible, behind a large tree).

Location

Bottom of outside corner / arete which is below roof under right side of main south face.

Protection

Protection for Trad leading is standard rack with fewer big pieces and perhaps more small ones.

For ideas to set up Top-Rope, see the Description of this Crumbling Under Pressure sector.
