South Ramp Left Variation

Description

This is a fun, chimney groove climb on fairly clean rock. It is best done as a solo due to the lack of adequate belays, although I wasn't really looking super hard.

A dirty start leads to sustained 5.6 groove/squeeze chimney climbing and then a good stance. The slab traverse over to an easy step up to gain the

South Ramp

is another 5.6 crux with no protection options, and a fall would send you careening off the west side. The upper ridge is cruiser. Then descend the west face rap route which is arguably the crux of this whole feature.

It is a fun extension to Angel's Way if you like this sort of thing.

Location

It is the South side left chimney/groove system.

Protection

Practically none.
