Description
Lowe/Kudo is a good warm-up pitch, or climb the harder second pitch to the Tennis Shoe Traverse.
Pitch 1: start just to the right of the
Honey Pot Dihedral
in a shallow chimney with gear. Pull up and right to the first bolt on a ledge ~25 feet up. 2 more bolts lead up ledges to a nice crack system on the left side of a large flake. Clip one more bolt above the flake, then move up and right to a 2-bolt anchor. A 70m rope is required to rap or lower from here, 5.8 115 feet.
Pitch 2: 3 or 4 bolts lead to a bolted anchor just below the Tennis Shoe Traverse ledge, 5.10+ 40 feet.
Per
Jon Henry
: those four bolts belong to a much harder route. Lowe/Kudo traverses right. There are no bolts on P2.
Location
The start is 10 feet to the right of the
Honey Pot Dihedral
chimney in a shorter chimney. You should be able to see the first bolt about 30 feet up on a ledge. The second pitch is a short, polished, vertical headwall with bolts.
Protection
4 bolts on pitch 1, 3 or 4 bolts on pitch 2, and bolted anchors atop each pitch. A single rack should sew it up between the bolts on P1.
