The White Flake

FA Jeff Foott, Jim Baldwin, and Hope Morehouse (1962)
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

A very long pitch starts in the left of two cracks at the far right side of this section of the face.  At the top of the crack, angle up and left for a long ways to a bolt.  From here, continue up and right until you reach a two-bolt belay station.  Unless you are using a 150' rope like the first ascent party, keep heading up and right and belay at the base of the corner.

The White Flake itself is a wonderful feature and lots of fun to climb.  Follow the corner (5.5) up and left until the angle kicks back and you can easily set up a belay just about anywhere.

Location

Approach up the slabs starting a few hundred feet right of West Country.

Protection

Pro to 4 inches and quickdraws.
