Description

  1. Climb for about 20-25 feet to a thin crack. Climb the face at this point (crux) then move straight up to the roof above; there is usually a fixed wire rappel station there. Go right about 8 feet or so to a large ledge and belay. 70 feet, 5.8.

  2. Climb up to the large roof system, then traverse out left (crux) to the nose. Keep going left to a two piton rappel station. 80 feet, 5.6. 100 foot rappel.

Intricate face climbing on the first pitch, fun climbing and great exposure on the second.

Location

Follow the trail from the right side of the Boxcar boulder. This meets the cliff near The Spring (P1), a large, well-chalked, inside corner that usually has a small pool at its base.

Lady's Lament starts ~90 feet left of the Spring, on the face right of the large open book of The Nose and just a few feet left of the vertical crack system of the original start to Fillipina (recorded as Boldina in the GunksApp). You'll know you are in the right spot if you see a couple of juggy holds you can use to step onto the wall from a rock.

Standard 'Gunks rack.
