Description
Enjoyable, sustained, and very interesting face climbing on solid rock. Skyline Pig is on the east side of Kindergarten Rock. To access the climb, park at the south parking lot and walk down the road to Kindergarten Rock. Skyline Pig is on the southern end of the east face. Look for new bolts and old pins following a well protected (for garden standards) direct line up a face past some shallow cracks. The route is straightforward but requires good technique and careful balance in places. You will run into two 5.10-level cruxes--the first a pumpy pull over past a bulge about 40 feet up, and the second a balancing act right before the anchors. Rap from the first pitch anchors (a 60m rope will reach, I'm not sure about a 50m). There is a second pitch that face climbs up a large corner past bolts to the two bolt anchor. Though the climbing isn't as hard, around 5.8, as the first pitch the views are awesome with some fun stemming moves. You can use a 70m which will barely reach all the way to the bottom for a rappel or to run some laps.
Protection
Recently re-bolted. New bolts supplemented by old drilled angles make for very sure pro. Solid anchors at the top.
