A.M.C. Route Variation

A really nice route at an extraordinary scenic location. Three long pitches of mostly face climbing along cracks and flakes.

P1. Climb left crack, veering right through a weakness with a vertical crack. Continue along the face, passing flakes and some bushes, veering slightly right all the way to a two bolt anchor on a nice tree ledge. 170' 5.6

Optionally climb the committing right crack to the same weakness. This was originally put as the main option, but using the left crack is more natural for the grade and route. 170' 5.7R

P2. Continue straight up the exciting face along more cracks and flakes to another two bolt anchor, just below a big tree filled ledge. 140' 5.6+ PG13

Scramble up 20' to tree ledge and belay here for the next pitch.

P3. Climb the crack filled face and then follow just right of the exposed arete, passing a big ledge and continue up all the way to a nice ledge with a tree belay. 150' 5.4

From here you can scramble to the top of the west summit and enjoy the views!! A trail leads to the Loop Tr and back out.

Note: This cliff can get windy and pay attention to loose rocks.

Left side of the cliff at the end of the climbers trail. This route starts at the same location as AMC Route.

Standard rack. Two bolted anchors for P1 and P2.
