The Loo Sanction (aka Mt. Witness)
Description
This is really not such a bad route if it weren't for the first 20 feet. The start is difficult, grainy and wide with little enjoyment to be had. After leading up to the first bolt I pulled the rope through the pro so that my partner could climb up the left side of the pedestal which was much better. Anyhow, the bolted section is amazing! You'll need to move left and nearly campus up liebacked edges and dynos!! Very cool! The finishing roof underclings are good as well with adequte pro and be sure to extend those runners to avoid drag. Give this one a try if you're feeling adventurous.
Location
Mt Witness is in the middle of the east face of Outhouse Rock which lies just up the hill from the back end of the Hidden Valley Campground loop. It is not hard to find in that it is the only route on the face with 3 bolts in a row.
Protection
A standard rack up to #3 Camalot for the top and bottom of the route and there are 3 well placed bolts in the middle. There are rap anchors down the west face to decend and not much at the top to belay from.
