Star in the Dust

Description

Now this is trad climbing! Devious, shallow fingercracks characterize this heady pitch. In my opinion, one of the best 5.10s in this part of the park. If it looks a bit crusty, give it a scrub on rappel after doing any of the other stellar routes on this cliff.

Gain the fingercrack and follow it to a good stance before making an unlikely looking move left to another crack. Commit, and follow it up to another hairy move to easier but more run-out terrain above to the finish. There, that wasn't so bad, was it?

Location

Locate the discountinuous cracks on the face to the left of the major Medicine Man arete.
