The Christening

Description

Indy's suggestion: Uses the same start as Who Do You Believe for 50' up a series of easy big ledges. Aim for the double cracks that lead to the first roof that is an additional 25' above the ledges. After that roof continue up the headwall for another 25' and through a series of three roofs. At this point you can either finish on School House Rock or try to send the climb through the the two angled cracks out the left side of the roof. - Indy's Online Guide

Location

About 20' left of the boulder you see on the right as you take the trail toward the howling wall going uphill. You will see large left facing flakes that mark the start of WDYB and the Christening. Straight above this location is a small pine tree about 50' up ... you will aim for this ledge on your way up and can optionally rap, or belay from here if you do this in two pitches.
