9th – 10th Pitches - 5.10/ The real climbing (dihedral) is done at the top of the 8th pitch. The last two pitches are wrestling moves. A short scramble along the sandy gully to the right after you top out of the dihedral leads you to what the Falcon Guide refers to as a sandy crack; I call it an ugly sandy flake. Whip out your number 5 Camelot again and make an awkward move or two to swing into the flake and climb it to the top with a belay station on a large pine tree. It is best for both of you to scramble to the base of this crack, so you can combine these last two pitches. The last pitch is a run out 5.4 to the top which you can scramble to the summit.
