Trip report URL:
Comments: We approached via AB young. The woods up top is flat and spacious, easy hiking over to the drainage. Following the drainage to the end it abruptly drops off and you are faced with a jaw dropping view for miles, from atop a 300’ big wall rap. The initial sequence is pretty sweet, big rap is all on a very clean wall, last 50’ free hang. Afterwards the canyon was nice enough with some additional “okay” raps reminiscent of Vultee’s Ladder. Exit seems to drag on and on grinding your way over to Sterling Pass. Quite a bit of brush near the end, luckily none of it is thorny. Sterling Pass is super pretty this time of year with fall colors, definitely a must see.
We rebuilt almost every anchor, seeing as this route probably hadnt been done since it was first put up. Over all, a worthwhile route. Beta has been updated!
