Northwest Face

FA P1: Brown, Scully '08. P2/P3: unknown, previously climbed
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Face and crack climbing on the Stump Buttress.

P1.Start at twin curving cracks and climb them up to a couple bolts on the face. End on a ledge with 2 belay bolts. 5.10-, 2 stars. The first pitch is somewhat clean, while the rest of the climb is best left undone. The original intention was to push another mixed pitch up the face up and left from the first belay, but was abandoned due to the amount of cleaning and bolts that would be required. For anyone interested that climbs at about 10+ or so, depending on path taken.

P2. Pitch 2 follows the rotten weakness above the belay to the big ledge. 5.8, stinkbomb.

P3. Pitch 3 climbs either a 5.8 corner on the left or a 9+ crack on the right to the top of the formation.

Location

On the far left side of the west face, just before turning the corner into Wall Mart. Route climbs twin curving cracks to the right of a pedestal. Hike down or rap

Protection

Small cams, RPs/stoppers and a few bolts for the first pitch. Standard rack for the rest.
