Description
Pipeline is a pretty good quality climb that would get traffic if it started from the ground.
Climb one of several ways to the intermediate anchor on
Pipe Dreams
, and set a belay... or for that matter, just continue.
From the intermediate anchor, step up and right aiming for a set of flakes and tips-sized cracks just a few meters to the right. Climb up these for 40' to the end, which is just up and right of the anchor as for the very top of
Pipe Dream
. You can climb back down a few feet from the ledge to clip the anchors on
Pipe Dream
to rap to the ground.
... and goes about 5.9.
Location
This pitch starts from the intermediate anchors on
Pipe Dream
and finishes near the top anchor, stepping down and left to retreat from there.
Protection
The climbing is well-protected on a double set of aliens from blue to red (tips to 1.5" max).
You can climb back down a few feet from the ledge to clip the anchors on
Pipe Dream
to rap to the ground.
