White as a Sheet

This was climbed in an attempt to find a better-protected line through the beautiful white rock on the upper left portion of the Whitestone Slab. Unfortunately, such did not exist. However, the climbing is good and the rock is perfect. Begin by scrambling up to the Tree Skirt tree. From here a horizontal crack leads all the way to Smokehouse. Place some pro in the Tree Skirt corner and move around the arete to the flared horizontal. The climbing here is easy, but any gear in the horizontal crack will be marginal at best. Some cruxy moves right at the end of the traverse lead into better protection on Smokehouse. Romp up the upper Smokehouse crack to the top.

Small rack to hand sized. I placed two tricams in the horizontal but they did not inspire confidence.
