Description
This is a tips to fingers variation into the roof pitch of
Cary Granite
. Instead of traversing in from atop the 2nd pitch of
Cary Granite
, traverse in from the 2nd pitch of
Good Evans
.
P1: Climb the first pitch of
Good Evans
, but belay atop the flake. The belay takes hand-sized pieces (5.10d).
P2: Climb the first 10-15 feet of the
Good Evans
crack until you can traverse left on a good rail. Then climb the tips to fingers crack into the
Cary Granite
roof and beyond (5.11).
P3: Climb to the top (5.10).
Although you don't get to climb the great p2 corner of
Cary Granite
, you do get to climb a great finger crack! The traverse into the crack is nowhere near as hard as the traverse in from the original route (probably 5.9).
Protection
Use the same as for
Cary Granite
, but add some RPs and finger-sized pieces for the variation.
