Overview

This is a 2-pitch route that can be 3 pitches if you want to top out on the formation. Each pitch is about 100'.

Getting There

From the left end of the parking lot, hike up, trending left. There's a good chance you'll end up at some low-angle slabs. If that happens, work your way down to the base.

Route Description

P1-- 5.4, 100'. Start from under the overhang above Solo Slabs, the rightmost climbs here. Climb to a large ledge and belay.

P2-- 5.3, 100'. Go up the left-facing corner and then head out right on a ramp to finish. The old guidebook mentions several variations for the finish; I believe the one we chose was the 5.7 one it describes.

Walk off to descend.
