Description
The Schnoz has fun climbing up to a boulder problem crux out the obvious nose feature. This is a good photo op with potential airtime.
P1. 5.11a. Start in the alcove just right of the toe of the buttress. Head up a right-facing dihedral, climb a small overhang, and then continue up the face to the base of the nose. Boulder out the nose to the chain anchors.
A 60m rope will probably get you to the ground but definitely to a ledge where you can scramble off to climber's left.
Location
This ascends the obvious nose feature above the approach trail shortly before West Crag (about 200 feet east of West Crag).
Protection
Seven bolts, a light rack to a #0.75 Camalot, and a small nut. Bring a few long slings for the bolt under the nose and to sling chickenheads at the top.
