MapDescription
Start just left of the 5.7 variation start of
Hand Jive
. Gillett's guide gives this route a star, but once you get above the clean nice looking start, the dihedral is a loose chossy hunk and I wouldn't recommend it. I kept pelting my belayer with the flakes I was touching and occasional quartz knob that pulled off in my hand. This would probably be a good route if it was done more often and cleaned up.
- Start about 15 feet left of the small pine tree that marks the 5.7 variation of
Hand Jive
. Stem up a wide slot with little pro and jam/lieback the dihedral where the slot ends. Climb about 100 feet to a point where a wide and very flared horizontal crack shoots out the left side of the dihedral.
- Traverse left out the horizontal crack, then wander up mostly easy (and clean!) face to the summit.
