Description

This is the giant, right-facing corner on the left side of the Lotta Balls Wall. Because it is shaded from the morning sun, this route is a good choice for those warm-weather mornings. A worthwhile route if just for the impressive FA team.

Pitch 1: climb pleasant cracks to the base of the main dihedral. Pitch 2: 5.8 climbing leads up the dihedral to a good ledge. Pitch 3: continue up easier rock. Pitch 4: easy 4th class to the top.

Descend the Lotta Balls gully with a couple of short rappels.

P1 - 37m, belay in alcove P2 - 30m of 5.8 followed by 35m of 5.6 to a slanted alcove P3 - 35m of easy climbing to a tree belay in alcove P4 - short 20m to top.

Descent: R1 - Short 10m walk to tree rap (65m) R2 - Rap down a chimney to another tree rap (10m) R3 - Rap to ground (50m)
