Not Wizard's Gate

This is the answer to the most frequently asked question at the base of this wall. NWG is one of the best multi-pitch, easy sport climbs in the area. It has good rock with fun climbing and long pitches.

P1. Climb generally easy rock up the face to a large ledge with bolted anchors, 5.6, 115 feet, 13 bolts.

P2. Step right, and climb the arete and face on stellar alpine granite to another nice ledge with bolted anchors, 5.6, 115 feet, 15 bolts.

P3. Move right off the belay ledge then up and left around an overhang. Above the overhang, move right then head up and right to a roof. Turn the crux roof utilizing a sidepull, step right then climb easy but fun face to a stance and the anchors,  It’s probably most comfortable to lower back to the nice ledge at the base of P3 and belay the second from there, 5.8-, 115 feet, 16 bolts.

Descent: rap the route. A 70m rope is mandatory to get down. After the last rap, move left to pull the rope to keep it out of the trees.

This is on the right side of the Lower Great Face around the corner and up the hill right of Wizard's Gate. There is a large inset on the right side of this face and NWG is located about 50 feet left of this. It is the right of two bolted routes. There is a tall very skinny tree about 50 feet up just right of the line.

16 draws plus anchors with a few longer draws/slings to minimize rope drag.
