Ellingwood Ledges Crux Pitches [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Ellingwood Ledges Crux Pitches
Here is a fairly decent close up shot of the two crux pitches as we are approaching from below. The first pitch obviously shown in red is a dihedral/crack 5.5. The second pitch has one 5.7 move which is the crux. The entire second pitch is not shown but the most difficult part of it is. Here is a shot of my climbing partner in the process of making the crux move. Having a large backpack sticking out will make this move much harder. Here is a pic of me leading the first pitch.

The red route overlay in the above pic is the 5.9 variation of the first pitch. The 5.6 variation is to the right. See it in this pic: Route Pic
