The Narrow Gate

FA Brand Bond and Eric Johnson, 1998

Description

Climb the first pitch of

The Shield

and belay. Locate the large, ominous roof directly overhead and notice that the lower part of it continues out to the left horizontally. Climb up 30' or so trending slightly left and then climb out the roof with no gear through an obvious weakness and turn the crux lip at .10b R/X

Place some gear just after turning the lip and head up and left on 5.9 slab and belay further up on the ramp. A hard to find micro cam placement eases the tension a bit near the end of the slab.

Location

Descend the north-facing slab from the summit and then romp down a bit of talus and come back around to the base of Lower Peanuts.

Protection

SR. Small tech cams.
