Chuckawalla 21, 5.9

Chuckawalla 21, 5.9

4th/5th - 200’- 5.8/ Perhaps the best pitch on the route if for no other reason than it has no bolts! (ok, maybe one off the belay as I recollect). Follow the nicely varnished crack straight up until you can easily traverse right below a small roof into a right facing corner. Pull the small overhang. If you want to belay here, you can. They put the rap bolts out on the left face. I chose to run the pitch a full 200’ to a horizontal crack (.75”) almost at the top of the corner and set up a gear belay so we would only have one more pitch to go.
