Lifestyles of the Poor & Dangerous

Quite an excellent pitch. #3’s nearly all the way up until you hit an off width pod of sorts that takes a .5, .75, and or number 1 Camelot. This is a sweet, lichen-free splitter crack that ends on a nice clean ledge to belay from.

At the high ledge, slung around a large block is some very, very old and rotten webbing. There is only that one strand which makes me think that the the route has hardly been climbed. The first time I did this route I didn’t bother to scramble to the upper ledge and so without seeing the ancient webbing, thought I’d done the FA

But

Some enterprising, and unknown crack jammer spotted the line apparently long before me.

Same approach as for Egg Shell.

Walk upriver on a trail thats reached by walking to the left of the Crevice Bridge, past diamond back crack. Climb is visible from both sides of the river.

Walk to the base of the rock formation and head up the grassy slopes at foot of the cliff.

Scramble up to the base of the ledge from the uphill side where you’ll find a short stem box (maybe 15 feet tall), where a huge block leans up against the main face. Some parties may chose to pitch this out.

Scramble fourth class terrain past eggshell and Continue down a ramp and then back up the ramp to the base of the climb  where you have a scenic belay waiting. Build an anchor here.

Hex and webbing are in place for rappelling.  Bring #’s .5, .75, 2, 3 (x’s 3), & 4 BD Camelot’s.
