Misty Mountain Hop (Original Start)

The re-discovered original first pitch to Misty Mountain Hop!  Follow the right leaning crack system to some slingable trees and an arete with positive holds. After climbing the arete, step up and left to a dirty ledge and follow another short crack to another slingable tree. Run it out for about 20ish feet on superb friction to a couple of cracks. Follow up and left to the next crack system, which features yet more bomber holds and gear placements. Follow the crack up and around to a tree anchor on the right.This route makes an excellent first lead.Descent: Double rope rap or single 60 m rope rap into the gully on climber's right and walk down. A single 70 will reach the ground.

On the main climber's trail just prior to the trail to the Kingdom Wall.

Excellent protection with a variety of placements. Standard rack up to a #3.
