Route Detail
This is the most popular route expect a short waiting periodApprox 160'
Located in the middle of the Bucksnort Slab in the obvious left angle dihedral just right of the large black streak
The route starts from a 5.4 scramble to the base with a large flat stance
begin the route with comfortable hands in the crack system to approx 8' up for your first pro hand jams for the next 50 or so feet with an awsome ly back towards the top.
The crux is near the top when you have a slight traverse left on a ly back under a large flaked boulder, fist jam and easy yourself over to the anchors (at this point you will lose sight of your belay but easy for communication)
set your stance for belay
The best way for descent is 2 50m ropes from the top
Can be done in 2 pitches if your not comfortable on the approach
Approach
from the road scramble up the obvious trail and the route will be directly in front of youEssential Gear
