Just Had To Trad Something

FA unknown

Description

Not in the guidebook. The name comes from the rc.com page. A crack/corner route (no bolts) to the right of Zoey's Arete. I have not climbed it trad but have scrambled up it numerous times, especially as a quick exit at the end of the day; it is a bit loose and brushy, and it is not 5.5. More like 5.2 if even that, but out of respect to the person who posted this on rc.com, I am noting his grade even though I will suggest a different one.

However, as the name implies, there is very little trad in this area, so it might be worth it if you're tired of clipping bolts and want to place some gear. Passive gear recommended in the limestone here.

Up top there is not much for anchoring, so it might be better to clip the Zoey's Arete anchors, lower, and belay from below as the second follows and cleans.

Protection

Passive pro. A few nuts or tricams.
