Description
Two very good pitches that traverse a crack out to the arete left of the Yard Sale chimney, then climbs thin face, knobs, and edges up the arete and left wall. P1 5.10c G: Climb Bear Necessities for 20’ to a right angling crack. Traverse the crack out towards the arete. Execute a tricky mantle (crux, subtle side pull) a few feet before the arete. Climb the arete and thin face to a two bolt anchor. Great position on the arete. 90’ P2 5.10b G: Follow knobs and edges past seven bolts to a two bolt anchor. Some of the holds on this pitch look like they came from a “climbing hold factory”. The easiest path is not necessarily a plumb line between the bolts. 70’
Location
Start on Bear Necessities. Two rappels from bolted anchors with a single 60M.
Protection
Gear: A "mixed" line in the Poke-O style. P1 takes cams from blue to black Metolious in the traverse crack, optional grey Aliens between bolts on the arete. P2 takes a black Metolious and a few finger sized cams.
