Description:


Northeast Corner
This route covers some pretty easy climbing, and is rated 5.6 for the first pitch. The first pitch starts off diagonally to the left, crossing some dihedrals. The second pitch (nearly 200 feet) goes straight up to gain the top of the buttress. This route cannot be descended directly using only one rope. If you only have one rope, you can descend the other side of the crag by scrambling to the top of the crag, and then to the left some blocks mark the location of the rappel chains.

3 out of 5 stars Fun route

After soloing the bolted routes on Steinfells and the Thumb
I drove around the reserve and soloed this route as well. A good climb worth the walk.

4 out of 5 stars Dirty...

but fun. Be sure to use a 24" sling on the 4th bolt over the bulge or else your second will have to clean a short draw and risk a pretty good swing if they fall on the traverse.
