Description

The route starts in a crack at the upper end of a large left-facing dihedral 50 feet right of the toe of the buttress.

Pitch 1 (5.5) 170 ft. cams 1 ea 1-3". Two bolt anchor with rappel rings.

Pitch 2 (5.6 PG) 180 feet. Climb past 5 bolts to a two bolt anchor with rappel rings. This pitch is high quality 5.6 friction climbing. It may feel a little bit run out between the bolts to a 5.6 leader new to Tuolumne slab climbing. This pitch was originally rated at 5.7 but several climbers who repeated the route found an easier line between the bolts that is no harder than 5.6.

Location

GPS N37.86251 W119.40011.

Protection

Cams on pitch 1, bolts on pitch 2. All bolts including the belay anchors are 3/8" stainless steel.
