Mountaineers Route
Description
Approach Pitch: Technical Climbing in loose dirt and trees up gully to Jaw Ledge. In the 70s this was more of a rock climb, but alders and plant life have made this more of a historical footnote than anything. 5 easy(optional but recommended approach): Climb Jaw Way, 30ish meters of bolted slab that starts below the 3rd fin.Pitch 2: 2 bolts in shallow crack/corner leads to pumpy corner bulge pull before a small ledge, continue up 5.10 off width or traverse left into 5.9 hand crack before final 2 SS bolts and 1 ancient bolt on featured 5.7 layback to 2 SS Bolts on "Jurassic Ledge". 5.10+/5.11-Pitch 3: Strenuous corner climbing leads to crux in large flare type feature, more corner climbing to first alder ledge and 2 SS bolts to a 3 bolt anchor. Short but strenuous 5.11
Location
From trail, you will arrive at a meadow and the trail forks. Take the left for slab start, or right to scramble up the traditional gully start.
Protection
Mostly small to .75 gear, singles 2 & 3, draws/slings. If leading the p1 off-width a 5 would be useful, but most parties have traversed around it.
