Description

Start from ledge which can be easily accessed from the right side of the crag, or start at the base of the rock and climb a short 5.7 pitch to the ledge. Build a belay below the little prickly-pear. Follow vertical cracks to the left side of the huge roof, below a chimney. Traverse right under the wave/beak roof (crux) to the sloping ledge on the other side, and belay (#2-#3 c4s). Squeeze up the short but clean OW pitch to big ledge, and either scramble off right back down to the bottom, or walk left around the corner and finish on the obvious left-slanting crack to the top (recommended) . They call this pitch 10a I think, but that's a blatant sandbag for sure .

Location

The obvious beak/like roof , which is visible from the granite basin parking lot .

Protection

Single rack to #4, and some brass
