Birthday Pickle

Hard to believe this all gear line was not done. A 30' right slanting crack leads into a easy face above.

Plug some gear before starting. Step off the large boulder (or start in the crack low) and jump right into the crux. Tough feet and good jams get you to a fixed nut. Ride the arete feature just right of the crack plugging medium to small pro in the crack. Keep following the techy arete until you get to a stance below the last bit of steep rock. Blast straight up the headwall and mantle onto lower angle terrain. Follow good face climbing to a set of anchors up and right.

Far left side of the Boulder Problem Area. From the upper tier, hike up a series of boulders to a large one and the start of the climb. The crack/corner start is obvious from the ground.

Double blue metolius to .75 camalot, singles 1 and 2 camalot, nuts. Fixed nut low protects the low crux. Two bolt anchor at the top.
