Three Stoners

P1. (220 feet, 5.7/5.4R)

Start on some low angle slabs and traverse up and right. Finish on a 5.7 finger crack. Belay at some old bolts, or simul-climb to the base of the next pitch.

P2. (60 feet, 5.10d/11a)

This is historically rated 5.10c. Locate a thin crack shooting up the slab that joins a left-facing roof/dihedral. The crux is at the 10-12 foot level where you have to fiddle in small gear from a marginal stance. An extra yellow and gray Alien will sew up the upper finger crack. Your lieback and gear placement skills will be tested on this pitch. Belay on the right side of the ledge.

P3. (130 feet, 5.9)

Join the

All Two Obvious

finger crack to the right (recommended) or climb 5.8 flakes on the left. Belay near a set of old rap bolts on a ledge.

P4. (180 feet, 5.6R)

This is the only bad pitch on the route. Follow the left-leaning, right-facing flake system to a fun runout slab. Aim for a left-facing dihedral that accesses a comfy, hanging, grass covered ledge. Grass mantels and loose flakes are included....

P5. (120 feet, 5.9-/5.6R)

This is a wild pitch for the grade. Head right for 50 feet linking left-facing dihedrals together to a roof. Pull the right side of the roof to a great handcrack. Belay at two 50 year old 1/4 inch bolts, which can be backed up (#3 & small hex).

P6. (60 feet, 5.11a/b PG13)

This is a memorable pitch shared with

Obviously Four Believers

, since success and safety are not guaranteed. Clip a somewhat upgraded 1/4 inch bolt (back it up!), and figure out a way to the undercling traverse and 2nd 1/4 inch bolt. Place a #2 cam to protect your follower before the 2nd bolt! Continue the traverse left (5.10) until you can turn the corner and gain a ledge.

P7. (120 feet, 5.9 or 5.10c)

Either climb the great 5.9+ finish of the

East Prow

or the 5.10c finish on

Age Axe

which is on the far left side of the ledge.

Start on the slabs on the far left shoulder....

1 set from tiny to #3, doubles from gray Alien to #1, RPs, optional 2nd #2 and #4 Friends.
