Falling Tree Arete

Unnamed

Local Color

Cromagnon

All Along The Squatch Tower

The Notch

Climbs the crack feature 15 feet right of Cromagnon. Committing. Two long moves. "Some questionable pro"-FA party. Shares anchors with Cromagnon. Pitch two: At roof, traverse far left and take the less-steep face to the top of the pillar.

Dry in the rain.

Sweet line up the center of the free standing Pinnacle.   

Climb up easy cracks to bolt 1. A 00 TCU or orange TCU protects crux above this bolt.  Lie back for a move, then move right to a jug.  Heel hook and reach to high pinch . Head up to second crux with gear in crack, make a fist jam move to clip the bolt, then a weird compression move to the juggy ledge. Crank to anchors.  

Start just left of the arete, around the corner from the Unknown 10b. Climb up the face to a ledge beneath a bulge. Place some gear and crank your way up the face, trending towards a large, scary looking flake. Pull up the flake(more solid than it looks)then trend right towards the arete. Climb straight up the face, then bust right around the corner and up to a ledge. Belay at bolts. Stop here or climb a short pitch(40ft) up the steep face. The view at the summit is amazing. One bolt anchor at the top.

Climbs the east side of the pillar at the notch. Finishes on the left side of the notch.

South-facing routes on the pillars known as The Notches.
