Description:
One of the classic routes at Granite Mountain. Start up a slab about 50 feet right of Kingpin and climb up a flake that becomes a left-facing corner (harder than it initially looks), and belay at about 120 feet at a bolted hanging belay. Climb the increasingly steep offwidth and corner to a bolted hanging belay anchor (160ft). Climb a short easy pitch to a belay up another 20 feet. From here you can see the AWESOME crux pitch above you and to the left. Angle up and right under "The Great Roof", then jam and smear the progressively harder crack in the roof towards the left edge of the roof (pins and cams for pro). This pitch turns the roof on the left (crux), and ends at a hanging belay just over the roof (the lower the better to avoid rope drag, but it is VERY EXPOSED!!!). Scramble up an easy gully past a bush to another small but easy roof that is passed on the right, and cruise up the final corner to the summit at a triangular boulder. A classic in every sense of the word!

did the candyland link-up. lead all the pitches, second is the physical crux, fourth mental, and fifth technical. didnt traverse left and ran out of appropariate gear about 25 feet from the end of the second pitch and continued on sweaty laybacks and elvis legs. 5.9 my ass. got off in the dark and couldnt find the raps, so we walked off. from the top of the climb to the normal trail took 4 hours, why are there no fucking cairns here?! to anybody not familiar with the area i would highly recommend going with somebody who is the first time. i've been there twice and if there is a climbers trail that doesnt disappear i still havent found it. with that said, it was a seriously fun climb with awesome exposure and views

Good fun.
We did the bolted 2 pitch face up to the corner. That was loads of fun, then out the whiteout and the roof which were challenging. after the traverse under the roof I did a tough move down to the anchors there since I hadn't looked at a topo. This actually set me up for nice pictures. Cool route. Loved swinging my legs over at the roof.
