1 5.11b 50m
2 5.10d 27m

A long 2 pitch climb that would be a good pairing with 'Rutabaga'. The climb starts 10m slightly right and uphill from 'Deadend Dihedral'. Read more on mountainproject.com

The most expensive climb in squamish. Careful of loose rock

Excellent route up the dihedrals featuring a lot of varied 5.10 climbing!

  1. 35m (10c) get past opening face crux and bolt and climb up right leaning finger cracks. Escape left when possible to belay on ledge.

  2. 18m (10a) Layback edge of a wide corner past two bolt and continue up chimney to belay stance on top of small tower.

  3. 45m (10c) chose between a 10d straight up variation or a 10c corner on the right. At 10m the variations converge. Finish up long corner above.

  4. 18m (10d) Climb finger crack above belay it gets rattly as you enter right leaning flare and finishes with a tough sequence pst a bolt. Move right into a corner and an anchor.

  5. 20m (5.9) continue up corner and then cut left through steep overlaps to a belay ledge.

  6. 20m (10b) step right into short flare, up it then exit by laybacking leaning corner. Easier up to next anchor ledge

  7. 20m (10a) climb past a bolt to left facing corners. Aesthetic undercling leads to a belay.

  8. 30m (5.9) nondescript corners lead to a right trending ramp and the belay. Retreat from here is possible with a 60m rope.

  9. 25m (10d) Face climb past 5 bolts to an exciting left facing corner and easier grooves above. Watch for the belay out right on the arete.

  10. 25m (10a) Traverse right to an hand-to-fist crack on this basalt infused head wall. Be vigilant, the stump chair belay is on a small ledge to the left.

  11. 15m (10d) Traverse right in a wild position. Face moves and underclings lead to a steep crux. (As of 2023 one bolt is missing a hanger but you can get a #2 cam in below it.)

  12. 15m (5.9) Steep and exposed chimneying finishes with a short squeeze. Entirely bolted (be on the lookout for the piton) but many find it hard for the grade. Don’t tunnel too far back! Walk off via bellygood ledge trail.
