Far West Country

Description

This is the oldest route on Stately Pleasure left of The White Flake.  Follow the obvious crack in the corner until it ends, face traverse right and gain access to the upper cracks.  Go left and follow the unbelievable splitter until you reach the two bolt rap station of Potter in Wonderland.

Far West Country is accurately described in Steve Roper's 1976 'Climbers Guide to the High Sierra'.  The route is very much like The Grack in the Valley, except better.  The lower section of the crack was never properly cleaned which kept most people off the route.  (a recent party spent 5 hours cleaning this 30' section of crack at the base and carried away a 3' tall pile of dirt and debris.)

An alternate finish up the right crack is almost as good.

DO NOT RAP DOWN OVER THE CRACKS.  Rap down to the west over Potter in Wonderland with two 60m ropes.

Location

In between Potter in Wonderland on the left and Kamps-Couch on the right.

Protection

Pro to 3 inches.
