Resurrection

An excellent climb with clean cracks, perfect face climbing, bolted belays, stellar views, and a civilized feel.

Pitches 1 & 2 are somewhat unmemorable but allow you to gain the gorgeous dihedral system of pitches 3, 4, and 5.

Pitch 6 has a 12a bolted section, transferring around an arete, out of the dihedral, and onto the clean slab face climbing of pitches 7, 8, 9, and 10.

P. 10 gains the large midway ledge.

Hike 300' up to gain the headwall.

Starting on the right side of the buttress, to the right of 2 OW cracks, climb a 5.9 pitch to a bolted anchor to get to the good stuff.

Pitch 12 is a lovely pitch on perfect stone.

P. 13 and 14 both have easy-ish crack climbing punctuated by 11d, bolt protected face moves.

The 12c crux of pitch 15 is preceded by burly 12a steep, flaring tight hands. Once you make it through this, a small ledge allows a rest before the thin, technical, well protected crux of stemming and face climbing. Awesome position and climbing!

P. 16...It's not over! I recalled belaying at the optional belay (see topo). This is also the rap descent

P. 17, 18 wander up and right.

At the summit, walk west (left) to the first of the raps. Rap the route. Or walk off.

The start is a bit ambiguous.

As you hike out to the route, keep an eye out for the large dihedral system of pitches 3-6. The route starts down and right of this (see topo).

The excellent topo is provided by Chris Williams and Jim Treggiari, without which, this route may have faded to obscurity. Immense thanks to them.

Apparently pro to 6", though Sean and I didn't bring anything bigger than a 4.

A handful of alpine slings.

A half dozen or so draws.

An 80m allows you to rap the route (maybe even a 70m).
