Ascent Notes for: Traitor Horn - 5.8 popular Average Rating : 4.65/5

Gusto

Third follower in group of 3. The 5.10ish right most crack before the true horn is also a fun climb.

Climbed Coffin Nail (great) to Traitor Horn. Traverse into and up the dihedral before the horn is definitely the crux. The horn goes easy, felt 5.4 but very fun. Take time to savor the view from the horn before moving on!

The horn section is a bit contrived, but well worth it.
I'd recommend doing Coffin Nail into Traiter horn.

amazing exposure, can't believe that it only has two stars in the guide book

Can't miss this climb. Heady and super fun. Getting onto the true horn is some great exposure that I have yet to experience anywhere else. Highly, highly recommended.

Linked up with Jensen's Jaunt.

as it gets and I like to think I have done some exposed climbs. When you stand up on that horn with the wind blowing you know it.

Start the belay for the first pitch up on the rock buldge at the base. This will give enought rope for a 60m to reach the 2nd belay, running the first two pitches together. I recommend climbing over the first horn, might cause a little more rope drag, but it's easier on the second on the traverse. The horn pitch has a lot of placements for nuts.

traverse to the horn was sketchy feeling but there are some flakes that you can't see near the pitons that give you a bit of respite. Sick root!
