Tombstone Nintendo

Easy trad climb with short and adventurous approach and descent. Perfect for teaching trad and movement in various types of terrain.

Multiple starting belays possible. But we belayed on flat rock on the right side of climb, just below descent gully. This avoids possible rock fall.

Climb nearly to the top of the first pinnacle. Traverse right and back to an enormous rock plate wedged between first and second pinnacle.

Build Belay here to break into 2 short pitches or continue upward for one longer trad pitch.

Climb to the top of second pinnacle. Watch for loose blocks. Sling secure boulders and/or build gear anchor for belay.

To descend go down and right to a class 3 gully that returns you to starting belay.

From the parking area walk up road a bit then go up scree filled gully on the right. Cut left to climb when accessible.

Protection abounds on this route. Loose blocks remain and climb is somewhat dirty. Climb will clean up quickly with a few more ascents.

Gear: Single rack is fine, with slings to avoid rope drag.
