South Ridge

Description

This fun route starts at the very bottom of the South ridge which, as described on the Rock description, is 2 feet from the amphitheater trail a couple of 100 feet past the amphitheater.

Getting onto the rock is the hardest move of the climb. It felt really tough for 5.6 and word has it that a hold broke some time in the past...

Once you manage to get onto the rock scramble up and right 30 feet on tricky and unprotected rock. I would have given this an S rating. From there, continue right and up easier rock around an overhang and reach the ridge for your first belay. The second pitch continues up the ridge downclimbing a step. Run the rope to the end of the ridge on hiking territory and belay just West and below the summit block.
