Description

P1 - 5-6 bolts, starts near a large pine located on a ledge behind/above you. Traverse in from L to first bolt. 2nd bolt is at a scoop/ledge. It is 5.10 from this bolt to past the 3rd. This can be bypassed by climbing left up the corner, then traversing in to the 4th bolt. Continue up past one more bolt to a flake/crack feature (gear), then past one or two more bolts to the belay. (5.8, ~190')

P2 - 4 bolts, high first bolt, traverse left after 3rd (5.8, 110')

P3 - 5 bolts, step left from belay, then follow bolts up, then right - crux pitch, steeper, more sustained, but tighter bolting (2nd bolt is not easily seen from belay ledge). Head up and right to a block in the corner to find a single bolt belay (w/ quicklink, backed up with cams) (5.8, 80')

P4 - ? continue up/next to corner via Rosemary's Baby (we rappelled from P3)

Location

Located on the right side of the dome.

Descent: rappel the route (two single ropes, then one double if from P3), or continue to top and rap or walk off climbers left.

Protection

Rack: draws, 3 cams 1-2" (#.5-1 C4) for P1&3, full single set to 3" if continuing up corner (and possibly a nut tool for gardening)
