Whine And Spirits

Climb an easy slab for 15 feet to a steep finger crack (5.9) for 10 feet then exit left to a subtle notch at a small roof. Head up a beautiful arching left facing corner. As the corner peters out left, climb over a steep roof and out onto a thin slab. Move up a delicate and sustained slab (.10c), passing three bolts along the way. Most agree that the crux encountered at the third bolt before reaching a decent incut and eventually the anchors. Rappel 110' to the ground OR continue up and left to a beautiful arete known as 'Straircase Arete' (5.7). Anchor bolts at the top of the arete allow for an overhanging rappel down to anchors 55' directly below to a route known as 'Wishful Thinking' (.10c)

This climb is found on the far right side of the west face. Locate a 10' wide slab that leads up to a finger crack.
