Pine Valley Peak, 5.5

Pine Valley Peak, 5.5

This is the first pitch of 5th class. The crux of the slab is the start. Several options exist, but if the rock is wet in the least bit, be careful on this section. Move left at the first opportunity via thin ledges and indentations until you are lined up with features above, including a decent crack, and head straight up for a full pitch 55-60 meters to a tree with a new sling (we placed in 2007). You can just drag the ropes up a scramble section above the tree until you reach the next pitch. Pine Valley Peak, Zion National Park, May, 2007
