Ann's Left

This route climbs the left side of the East Wishbone. Any of the pitches can be mixed and matched with

Ann's original route

. Escape and descent from the ridge is easily found at any point by a rappel and scramble off the East side.

Pitch 1 - make a difficult move off the ground and over a bulge. Then enjoy nice crack climbing up the arête. When the crack ends, move right around the arête or continue up on the arête (mild runout, 5.7).

Pitch 2 - traverse the saddle, then scramble up and left of the rib extending from the second buttress. Climb a steep wall to a large ledge (5.8). Belay at a left-facing flake.

Pitch 3 - climb the flake to the top of the rib. Traverse up and left in the thin seam (crux, 5.11d), and belay at the top of the second buttress.

Pitch 4 - move the belay up to a large, tree covered ledge. Climb the arete (5.9) on bolts, and join

Ann’s Route

.

This is a variation to the first four pitches of

Ann’s Route

. Start on the west arête of the first buttress.

A standard adventure rack with some very small wires and TCUs for the crux.
