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!

Ascent Note
Great route - there is a 5.7/8 option about midway of pitch 2, before the teardrop offwidth. Traverse left to a right angling crack. Layback the crack to end at the same anchors. After doing both ways - I prefer the straight up, less rope drag and more fun. Note: no belay anchors after turning the roof.
