Description
This is not my route, but the upper crack is so obvious, and there are anchors: gotta be something, right? Ken called it "unknown anchor, 5.8?" on his 2014 topo. It is NOT
Dan Hare's Route
(I suspect it may have started as a convenient 2nd rap' anchor from
Double Exposure
). Maybe the story will be told now that there is this placeholder?
Depending upon snow cover, it could be a long way to the first good placement, but I led it as an entirely separate route from
A Line
and found it to be runout but reasonable. You can cut left early and place some gear on
A Line
, but I'm not sure it would help much later on....
Location
Between
Double Exposure
and the gash that holds
Dan Hare's
first pitch, wander up slab toward the obvious backwards J-shaped crack. This leads directly to anchors on a small ledge next to a flat rock visible from below.
Protection
A singles rack to a #3 worked for me. Consider a nutpick to clean out placements maybe?
