Climb the laid-back face to the left of the buttress: big pockets, hard rock. What more could you want? |
|||||||
Sly Bandits, 19 | 19 | 17m | 4 | ||||
Climb the buttress at the LH end of the wall. Technical moves supported by 4 naked bolts and #3, #3.5 and #4 friend in the big horizontal crack. DBC belay. |
|||||||
Across the River, 18 | 18 | 17m | 6 | ||||
4m to the right is a face and buttress: Climb the face up to a hanging buttress, finishing right at the top to a TBC belay. |
|||||||
Double Trouble, 22 | 22 | 19m | 5 | ||||
The face and corner crack. The climbing is easy up to the large ledge, then it gets steep real fast! Move left at the top before pulling over to the TBC belay. 5 naked bolts. |
|||||||
Hop, Skip, and Jump, 16 | 16 | 15m | |||||
Climb the corner all on natural gear, mainly large wires but a friend or two might work. Must have been the end of a long day, as no belay was placed. Climb up to a likely looking tree for a belay, or place your own. |
|||||||
Lex Talionus, 23 | 23 | 17m | 5 | ||||
A stunning arete. The crux is in two parts: 1) clipping the 5th bolt. 2) climbing past it. 5 bolts. DBC belay. |
|||||||
The Good Life, 17 | 17 | 17m | |||||
A couple of meters right A thin left-tending crackline, climbed using natural gear. Move left at the top, protected by a sling runner, to a DBC belay |
|||||||
Daisychain, 19 | 19 | 12m | |||||
Fifty meters right is another smaller outcrop. The major feature is an overhanging corner: Climb the corner using mainly mid to large wires and a few small friends. The rock is hard so the placements are usually good. Exit left to a DBC belay. |
|||||||
Goodbye Winter, 18 | 18 | 8m | 3 | ||||
The thin crack to the right. Climb the thin crack line. 3 bolts with habers, DBC belay on the left at the top. |
