Clamshell

FA First Recorded Ascent - Andrew Ellis

Description

Really good problem!

Sit start on jugs and bad feet - avoiding the detached block on the right. Work out 1 of 2 ways to get into the seam, make a burly move to get up past the halfway point, and then finish on easier, but technical balancy laybacks to the top out. Walk off is easiest by going up to the tower and then down the stairs.

This is in such an obvious and easy to access spot that it had probably been climbed before I got on it, but I did clean off a fair bit of chossy/loose rock from the face and around the crack before figuring it out.

If you use the detached block for feet on the right, it goes at abt V2- with much more straight forward beta - This is "Softshell"

Location

The main face on the clamshell boulder just below the tower. Super easy to spot from the parking lot - walk up the trail to the tower and you cant miss it.

Protection

2 or 3 crash pads.
