South Face - Access Routes to Tree Ledge
About South Face - Access Routes to Tree Ledge:
To get to the Great Arch and other South Face climbs, it's necessary to lead one of several routes to the Tree Ledge. Many of these access routes are great climbs in their own right and vary from pure friction climbing to conventional crack/dihedral routes. There are several rap stations at the Tree Ledge when you're ready to come down, but note that the access climbs are longer than they look; you'll need two ropes to rap. |
