The Nose (Cantara Loop)

Okay, so this is rated 5.10+ in the State of Jefferson guide and 5.7 in the Shasta Area guide. I’ll split the difference and call it a 5.9, which honestly feels right.

The route starts up a bulge and pulls onto a face with a crack and little finger pods. Then links up with the Peregrine anchor.

Fun movement especially on the lower section.

Left of the 5.7 dihedral (with the funky U shaped bar) and right of Peregrine.

Bolts (4 or 5) to a 2 bolt anchor with chains.
