FA John Steiger, Retrofit by Clay Watson, Brian & Annie Smoot, July 2019
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Start at the right end of the face at an arete with a crack on the right in some darker rock.  Climb up to a small roof, move left to a good thin crack. Follow this (5.8) for about 40'- 50' to an intermediate belay at two bolts. Continue up with a few more cam placements to a bolt. Climb up to a right facing corner capped by a roof and a bolt at it's lip. Move right around the roof to the edge of the face. Continue up this steep, strenuous section to the top and a belay at the bolts on Weed Killer. A 70m rope gets you down.

The first bolts can be used for intermediate trad climbers who want to practice.

In 2008 John Steiger led this sans bolts with Brent Manning. John graciously let us retro fit the upper section of this route to make it safer.

Location

Begin 20' right of Weed Killer, or left of Deep Dark Crack

Protection

One set of cams to a #2 Camalot, including some small wireds. A few long runners are needed too.
