Description:

Worth doing for the final roof pitch. It's 15 feet of dead horizontal roof with a beautiful splitter the whole way. The fifth pitch above Awahnee is pretty hairy at 5.7X. There is alot of loose rock and little to no viable protection for the traverse, save for a ball nut halfway across. The head ladder condition varies by season, but be prepared to place some. Probably no nailing required if you have hybrid aliens and the two smallest ballnutz. The "C3" above the roof is fairly casual fixed pins as of 9/2002, although many are half driven and upwardly placed.

4 out of 5 stars Solo Winter Ascent

Pitch above Awhanee has a couple of fixed heads, and then fixed LA's and Angles at the top.
Some awkward climbing, scary 5.7 free climbing off the ledge with an unmodified grigri and Camp 4 approach shoes.
Fun route with a bit of awkward in the middle and a great top out.

Did this route in a push with a friend for his first wall... the crux pitch above ahwahnee and the roof pitch are the best part of the route. you can substitute most of the heads on the rack with small beaks, we only placed one #0 head and the route had just been cleaned of fixed gear… over all it’s a fun route.
