Description

P1) Starts up the easy ramp to the ow that goes up and right. continue up ow until chickenheads appear, exit out left on heads and continue up slab to belay on top of the boulder 5.9.  (V.) up ramp, up ow until able to exit on hand crack. This is the Dad's Hands Variation, 5.9)P2) We thought this pitch was going to be more of a rope move but it ended up having a few unprotected moves. You generally want to move south along the ridge. The 1st step across is committing and then there are 2, 5.6 slab moves. Continue south and go around the big pillar and up on 4th class and then downclimb into position onto the chockstone, below your route. Many anchor options exist here. 100', 5.6 P3) Go straight up the beautiful crack using many face holds along the way. about 80' up, start working your way left and up through a diagonal weakness and onto the treed ledge. 120', 5.8P4) use the tree to gain the crack. step across left onto the alligator skin and chicken headed face. fun, easy climbing leads to the summit and your rap. Save a big cam for the belay or belay off chicken heads.Rap into the gully off of the big chicken head. Single rope is fine but I'd suggest using a 70. Scramble back down to the front porch
