5 Minutes Alone

Climb Power Surge (11c), to a belay ledge. From the ledge keep going up the left side of the steep headwall using a finger crack (about V5/6). From a good finger lock and a crimp in a seam place a piece or two then get the left arete when possible. From here do rad compression moves above your gear (maybe another V6 section) to a horizontal break. From the break follow the exposed, off-sized (inch/inch and 1/4) splitter finger crack to the top (about 10+/11-). This is Tahoe’s hardest route on natural gear, with no use of bolts as lead protection.
