Corbel

Boulder up to carefully clip the first bolt (a slip here by one of the locals resulted in broken and cracked ribs on the scree below . . . so much for talking politics while climbing! Important safety note: spot your climber to the first bolt here or maybe stick clip?). Continue up following the bolted line, and find yourself at a large, left downward angling ledge. Make a choice to either go to the right up the blocky channel or set off on the slightly overhanging face beneath the

corbel-like

roof (that’s a carpenter’s term by the way . . . ). Going right near the top is easier; going left is more of an adventure. After the last bolt, head up and carefully reach and clip the chains.

Midway along the base of the middle tier of The Ledges cliff complex, find a slightly left-leaning pillar feature with a small pine tree about mid-height. To the right are large, overlapping slabs that comprise much of

The Classic

. To the right of these overlapping slabs on the next face is Corbel.

13 bolts + chains.
