Approach

Start in a shallow gully at the base of the Drug Wall on South Gateway.

Route Description

There are 6 drilled pitons to a double bolt anchor. Climb directly to the anchors. This route requires lots of tedious friction climbing on this face.

130' to the anchors. Use double ropes to rap down.

Essential Gear

Quickdraws, two ropes. Runners help a lot to avoid rope drag.



"I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."   --Albert Camus
