Description:

Start: At the top of the trail from the carriage road, between Gory Thumb and Country Roads, at a crack below the prominent 'V' notch. Pitch 1: 5.7 PG 80 ft. Climb the crack to the base of a left-facing corner, move left and up to a large left-facing corner below the V. Climb the corner to the V, up through the V, and up to a ledge (rap bolts & chains). Pitch 2: 5.1 PG 120 ft. Pitch 3: 5.8 g 40 ft. Funny thing: This route is NOT named for a V feature. It's adapted from the german accent of the first ascensionists. "We Three" is the actual name of the route.

Descent Options:

Go right to rap station for rappel back to pitch one's bolt anchors. Two 50M ropes needed.

Wild, and fun

Led 1st pitch only. Actually thought the face leading up to the V notch was harder. Stemmed the V with pro at the bottom. Def recommend stemming the V.
