Consumption of the Ages

FA Ming, Kimball, Kennedy, 1981

Description

This climb starts out with a bang. It would be three stars if the climbing didn't degrade after the crux.

P1: Traverse out a ledge and start cranking. Sequential finger jamming and sidepulls lead to a powerful bulge. Continue up easy 5.9 rock to a stance below the squeeze chimney.

P2: Climb the 5.8 squeeze on the left or the 5.9 dihedral on the right. This pitch ends on the summit ridge, which has a 3rd class descent to the walk off.

Location

This route starts about 10 feet to the right of the second chimney system that you encounter as you hike up the north side.

Protection

Finger-sized gear for the crux, and a handful of hand-sized gear for the rest.
