Description
Edited a bit but see FAists post below for more! P 1: Long low angle hands/off hands corner with awesome patina edges. Bouldery move to get into the hand crack with small gear then hands, wide hands forever. Anchors above and right on ok ledge. This pitch is awesome! P2: short pitch, head up to next ledge system and make bouldery move to a bolt. Climb intelligently through awesome Winslow Wallesque edges to chain anchor on comfy ledge. very light rack and handful of slings. P3: up through obvious crack system through a couple bolts placing you in a fantastic position with great exposure on the arête, some very cool holds through here. Two bolt anchor. Rap from here or adventure onwards. P4: head up onto ledge and make sketchy traverse right to a two bolt anchor at the base of a 90 ft hands/big/hands to chimney pitch 5.10(?). Alt P4: Unrope and bushwhack up and left into choss chimney, grovel up this to flattish ledge and get out the machete and head right o the base of an amazing 5.9 hand crack that takes you to the top of a small tower.
If you've made it through the 4th pitch chances are you will want to climb the last pitch of Moonshiner, 8 bolts and a 1 and #2 Camalot will get you to the summit!!! 5.10+
From the summit rap back to the tower then down Moonshiner with one 70 or down Pocketfull with 2(?)
Location
Just around the corner from Counterfeit to the south.
Protection
Singles to #1 Camalot, triples to #3, #4? One 70 if you bring some quick links and rings to leave at the first anchor, or 2 60m ropes will get you down.
