Description
This is a three pitch aid line up and right (south) from the top of the rappel wall.
Pitch one: locate bolts and rivets from the base. Ascend a bolt ladder with mixed gear placements to a ledge with a bolted anchor.
Pitch two: aid climb the dihedral to a hanging two bolt belay. This pitch used both pitons and clean gear. Would likely go clean. Note: there is a bolt which is close to a good crack. On the first ascent, there was a huge block covering the crack. Only after the bolt was installed, could the block get removed
Pitch three: traverse right under the roof via pitons nailed straight up into a crack to a bolt ladder that goes out the horizontal roof. After climbing out the roof, a horizontal crack will appear. Traverse left on this crack via knife blades and lost arrows. One rivet and a few free moves will attain the “summit.”
Walk off to the east and down into the canyon to the north. This is the canyon with all the sport climbs
Fun route to set up a portaledge and hang out on
Location
Look for bolts and rivets while walking the base of the wall.
