Description

Wear a helmet and pay attention to what’s happening above.

P1:Surmount a low roof then float up the slab as it steepens and sweeps left. the rock type goes from quartzite-esque to sweet limestone like that found at Hellgate or Jug Haul Wall as you climb onto the bulge. 11 bolts

P2: Clipping on this pitch can require extra moves to find the best stance or jug. Start off with some delicate slab work over some bulges up to the obvious roof. Clip a bolt and pull yourself up and left over a void into an airy dihedral. Move up and right to the anchor.

7 bolts.

Plenty of bolts. PG13 just to keep everyone heads up especially on the second pitch.

Approach:

Park next to an opening in the trees with a low flat granite boulder directly below the formation. Find a boulder at the base of the hill and follow path behind it up through trees. Follow base of talus field up and right. Switchback once to the base. If you are bushwhacking or talus rolling, you’re in the wrong spot. Approach time 5 minutes.

Descent options:

One double rope rappel

Two single rope rappels

Belay up to top of formation and walk off.

Protection

P1. 12 bolts

P2. 7 bolts

A few runners or double draws help with drag through the roofs and around the corners.
