South Face – 5.6 (trad)

Description:

Adapted from Mountain Project:

The route climbs the left side of the face first reached from the trail. The start begins where the ground starts sloping downhill sharply.

Pitch 1 - Climb broken rock to a fun chimney. Belay on the big ledge at the top of the chimney. No fixed anchors. 90 feet, 5.6
Pitch 2 - Climb the low angle slot to a ledge system. Walk along the ledge system, and climb up to a higher ledge to a chain anchor. 80 feet, 5.4
Pitch 3 - Continue on the ledge to a crack. Climb up to a hard for 5.6 mantle to a ledge. Clip the bolt and climb to the summit tower. 50 feet, 5.6

A single rope rap from the summit leads to the ledge below the top of pitch 2 where you will find rappel slings around a block. A second rap gets you from here to the ground. 60m rope.

    Really good tower intro. Mantle felt a little spicy on lead with heavy winds

    Mega fun. The climbing is mediocre but the position is beautiful! It was SUPER windy and cold up there... glad we stuck with it though and got to sit on the summit together. Graham and I accidentally did this in 4 pitches, I led odds, he did evens.
