Crooked As They Come

Description

A three pitch rim route. The final pitch climbs the long upper splitter visible from the ground.

P1 climbs the wide corner. 1-2 #6 camelots and a pair of pants are nice here. Belay is two bolts on a ledge left of the corner 5.10

P2 Leave the big gear on the anchor and follow the fingers/tips crack on the left. Bring a very small cam for where the crack pinches down (we used a red X4) and be prepared to crimp a bit. 5.11

P3 The $$$ pitch! Climb 42 meters of splitter hands. The top is a little sandy and there is one larger block to beware of, climb carefully near it. Belay on top of this pitch is gear and takes .4-#1 camelots.

The top rap station is located just to the climber's right of where P3 tops out. Follow cairns up and right to find it. From there, rap the route. The first rappel is an absolute stretcher with a single 80M rope and is probably best done with double 60M ropes.

Location

Just left of The Emmanator

Protection

Pitch1—Doubles #3-#4 camelot, 1-2x #6 camelots to bump.

Pitch 2—Singles very small to #2, extra .4-.5.

Pitch 3—Lots of 2's and 1's. A few 3's and .75s, 1x .5 for the top.
