Approach


See approch for Squaw Rock on main page.

Route Description


First Pitch:
From the southeast side climb about 30 feet to an ascending ledge. Traverse right to a corner platform along the ledge. Find bolts.


Second Pitch:
Traverse right on the highest ledge around the corner to the west face.
Follow scree filled gully to bolted summit.

Essential Gear


60 meter rope should get you to the ground in the two raps, not sure if a 50 would make it but I think it would. Downclimbing would be easy enough if a 50 didn't make it. A few rap slings/rings. A set of tri-cams. A hand full of nuts & a few large hexes to twist/wedge in large pockets. There are bolts to rap from the summit onto the ledge below. Suggest pulling rope and resetting rap from bolts on ledge to avoid rope hang ups.

*Pro placement is questionable at best, hence the X rating.
