Description
Another old amphitheater classic, doesn't seem like this gets a ton of traffic, the bottom has green stuff growing all over the wall and is likely wet when the area is seeping, it is a good option on hot days since it is in the rap gully. Watch for loose and delicate rock.
P1 5.8 You should start where the crack meets the ground pulling a small roof on a flexable flake but you can also cheat this and start around the corner to the right. Continue on easy terrain into the right facing corner system, a small crux establishes you in the corner system. Belay on the ledge on top of this corner system
P2 5.8 The double roof pitch, from the belay make some kinda thuggy moves up and left in the obvious large crack, you will gain a walkable ledge, from here trend up and right to the top right corner of the large roof, excellent gear and over hung jugs and some jams gets you to the lip which is dirty, pull the lip and belay on a number of different pine trees.
Location
this is the first climb on the skiier's right in the rap gully behind the mummy buttress
