Description:

Dead vertical fingers-to-hands-to-flare. Eat your wheaties and get to the base by 10am or you'll freeze when the Sorceror goes into the shade and the wind kicks up. You can do this in two pitches with a 60m rope. Do the regular first pitch and then stretch it to the tree at the top (and manage your gear or you'll run out). 2 ropes (or 1 70M) needed for the rap (chains).

5 out of 5 stars led with ice in the crack

17 degrees F in the am. Hands were numb after 20 feet of climbing. Pitch two is a bit tricky. You can rap with one 60m rope and some downclimbing.
