Description

This is not my route, but the upper crack is so obvious, and there are anchors: gotta be something, right? Ken called it "unknown anchor, 5.8?" on his 2014 topo. It is NOT

Dan Hare's Route

(I suspect it may have started as a convenient 2nd rap' anchor from

Double Exposure

). Maybe the story will be told now that there is this placeholder?

Depending upon snow cover, it could be a long way to the first good placement, but I led it as an entirely separate route from

A Line

and found it to be runout but reasonable. You can cut left early and place some gear on

A Line

, but I'm not sure it would help much later on....

Location

Between

Double Exposure

and the gash that holds

Dan Hare's

first pitch, wander up slab toward the obvious backwards J-shaped crack. This leads directly to anchors on a small ledge next to a flat rock visible from below.

Protection

A singles rack to a #3 worked for me. Consider a nutpick to clean out placements maybe?
