Redneck on a Rope

Description

Classic, secure, and elegant. These are all words that would aptly describe the climbing on this great line. A destination route to be sure.

Begin up the left side of the pillar which steepens into a moderate offwidth section (5.8, 4-5" piece). Surmount the pillar then follow the bolt line up and left through the steep headwall on good edges/dishes past a short thin section (crux) More moderate terrain leads to a final interesting move before the belay chains.

Location

Start: 20' right of Buckwheat on the belay ledge with the low bolt.

Descent: Rappel the route from fixed anchors with two ropes or alternatively rap over to the Buckwheat anchors with a single rope and rappel from there.

Protection

4-5" cam, 12 draws 2 bolt anchor
