Description
This namesake pitch was established by Shannon Stegg by accessing the corner from the Indian Ledge. Upper and lowers pitches have been made creating a top to bottom route.
Pitch 1 climb up crusty dark slab to a ledge with a short face. For easiest to build belay here.
Pitch 2 I have climbed through this face two ways by crimps and jugs on the left or the water groove on the right. From here climb up to the Indian ledge near large pine tree.
Pitch 3 The pitch you climbed up here for. Work your way up the huge corner with a thin crack to a ledge out left and belay.
Pitch 4 Pull the bulge with thin cracks right of belay and climb slab above to another steep face and belay.
Pitch 5 Climb steep face through bulge and groove to trees.
Bush whack through some trees and hike the main trail off.
Location
This route starts in the next clearing right of Saved The Shrimp. Someone has added a bolt right above natural gear on the first pitch in the last year that needs to be removed. You will be at a dark slab that climbs through rippled features to a short steep face 140’ or so above.
Protection
Rack of single cams to 2 with an emphasis for small gear. Several sections are protected with your choices of thin gear 00/ball nuts/small offset nuts. Half ropes are nice.
