Description

Disclaimer I haven't done the second pitch, but the first is fantastic.Make a couple of moves off the deck to reach the crack and good gear. Follow the crack to the roof and traverse right (crux, small cams necessary). Follow the crack as it runs vertically again in a right facing corner to find a ledge and fixed anchor.Pitch 2: Lawyer/Haas guidebook: "Traverse right into open book and follow this straight up to a cedar in a chimney just below the top". The book also says that a 60 meter rope will get you down from here in 2 raps.

Location

In the middle of the cliff there is a very large right facing corner. The corner is dirty and vegetated. The face in front is black and has some obvious bolts (Big Brother). On the right facing wall is a hand crack that doglegs to the right about 50 feet high. This is Rico's Roughnecks.

Protection

Doubles to #2, a single #3, and #4 optional. Fixed Anchor.
