East Face/Three Graces

Description

First, climb the great 5.2 ridge route on the North ridge(s) of Three Graces, a superb climb which will undoubtedly be described by others. Set up the toprope from this anchor, and head basically straight up the face, moving slightly right and then left to follow natural weaknesses. Make sure your belayer is wearing a helmet, as this section of rock is very fragile. Pull down and not out or, better yet, resist the temptation to climb this route after rapping off from Three Graces.

Note: I have heard, but not confirmed, that the entire Three Graces formation is closed to climbing due to the damage done by climbing on the rock (I'll take my small share of credit for said damage, after being unable to resist the temptation on this route). You might want to check with the Park staff, since not climbing there is probably preferable to a fine.

Protection

No pro. Somewhat loose and unpredictable rock. A toprope problem - 'nuff said.
