Description:

This route can be started on the left and then traverse right (2 bolts) to join the center route. Or you can climb directly up the center to the chute (5.3 no protection) to join the route. This is a true Pinnacles classic and is probably the most popular climb in the park. There are two bolts on each side of the top for double-rope rappels. You can also rappel off the short backside and downclimb the chimney.

3 out of 5 stars nice warmup w good view

Second time to the top of 1st Sister. This time from the right past a couple of new bolts. I traversed left to join the center route to the top. Bolts are very old and rusted but it is easy terrain. Next time will try straight up all the way starting at the right of center route.
