Description

5.8 Start is a one pitch route in the Hubbel Guide. Perhaps it was the first pitch for one of the routes above. Climb a hand and finger crack with ledges up to the ledge below

Brown Sugar

and

Gill Route

. Build an anchor here. From here, continue up one of the other routes or down climb

Easy Corner

. We were low on daylight, therefore we climbed up this route and downclimbed

Easy Corner

.

It has a short crux with ample protection therefore a pretty good first 5.8 lead.

Location

5.8 Start is located on the lower section of the Rightovers below

Gill Route

and

Brown Sugar

(see photo).

To descend, either dow climb

Easy Corner

or continue up

Brown Sugar

or Scraggles to the top then walk/scramble off to climber's left.

Protection

Light rack up to a #4 Friend.
