Green Project

Green Project is a sparsely bolted and delicate face climb immediately right of

Center Route

. If you are the first ascensionist, please chime in and give us more info on the history of this amazing route. The anchors on this route are used as the rappel for most of the routes climbing up the pinnacle.

Pitch 1: (12a) 100'. This pitch is the technical crux. It is runout at the beginning but leads to less spacing between bolts as the climbing difficulty increases. The bolts are sometimes hard to reach from the obvious stances if you're short, and falls would be generally safe but big. Gear: quickdraws/runners and a #0.5-0.75 BD cam to protect the traverse at the first horizontal break (

Rising Crescendo

). RPs can be used to protect the second traverse to the anchor but are probably a waste of energy to place.

Pitch 2: (11d) 100'. This is the mental crux. The move off the belay is physically the hardest, and reaching the first bolt is the first of many mental cruxes. The climbing eases off (10+ to 11- range) after the second bolt, but the spacing between bolts increases significantly. The moves getting to the anchor are also cruxy and pumpy (11c/d range). Gear: quickdraws and your A-game.

From the base of Breashears Finger Crack, scramble up the short hand crack (

Wunsch's...

) to the next ledge. Start just 5 feet right of the

Center Route

splitter, and follow the obvious bolt line.
