Neck Route

FA unknown
CREATED May 2023
UPDATED May 2023

Description

This route climbs the prominent right facing dihedral at the east end of the Camel's head. Climb low angle rock past a few old bolts. The crux comes after the bolts; pull a bulge on loose rock. The guidebook lists the route as two pitches, but that will create the challenge of building a belay--there aren't many opportunities to place solid gear, and the bolts are rather suspect. The route is a nice scramble to the head summit.

From the top of the route, continue up 2nd/3rd class to the summit. Descend Pedrick's Chimney. It is out of the way to return for gear at the base of the route.

Protection

Maybe a couple cams and nuts, probably finger-hand sizes. A couple rusty drop in bolts with Leeper hangers.
