Description
Pitch 1: ascend fun flake/crack climbing with supplemental smears for the first 4 bolts. Transition onto the face, and pull over onto easy runout terrain to the anchor (4-5 bolts). The flake is hollow and detached, I don't think it's going to come down anytime soon, but be mindful.
Pitch 2: work up the headwall, then edge up slab left of the rotten chimney to a 2-bolt anchor (4 bolts).
In "
Climbing Colorado
," it lists this route as a single-pitch climb, starting from the end of what I've defined as "Pitch 1". To do it the way the book defines, you would scramble right across the sloping ledge starting from "
Intensive Care
" to the bolt/piton anchor, and then complete what I've defined as "Pitch 2" normally.
Location
It is the furthest right (north) route on Silver Cascade Slab, just right of "
Intensive Care
."
Protection
The first pitch has 5 protection bolts and a 1 bolt and 2 piton anchor. The second pitch has 4 old protection bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.
