Description

The crag is on public land - Pike National Forest (access warning implies it might be private).

Pitch one - climb the 5.9+ slab protected by one 5/16th inch bolt that leads to the prominent double hand cracks.

Pitch two - climb the double cracks (5.8) up into the right-facing dihedral.

Pitch three - identify the left-tending, rising traverse. Climb out of the dihedral onto the face protected by bolts. Then climb the thin crack and face holds (5.11) to gain the belay ledge.

Pitch four - climb the beautiful 5.9 hand crack to the summit.

Location

This is the prominent line close to the middle of the Infidel West Face.

Protection

Friends and nuts to 3 inch including a selection of micro stoppers. Bolts if you'd like to replace the old buttonheads.
