The Red C

Description

Climb the right side of the sweeping overhang.  Start standing at an obvious edge.  Climb past a good right hand sidepull. The crux is getting to and establishing on the lip at about 20 feet.  To my knowledge, this climb has only been toproped and is a prime candidate for a bouldering ascent.  There is a nice spotter's perch on the slab at your back, but an awkward fall could be bad--be careful!

Location

Walk to the top of

Last First Crack

.

From there, head up the climber's trail to the far western part of the Green A Gully.  You will encounter an initial zone of boulders with a beautiful north-facing problem I have heard referred to as

The Shield

(V4ish), which climbs above a pit landing.  From

The Shield

, head south down a little mini-gully through a maze of boulders.

The Red C

is nestled in a corridor that should emerge to climber's left.

Protection

No anchors at top--plenty of options for setting up an anchor using natural protection. Bouldering the climb with a reasonable (?) degree of safety would require a fair number of crash pads and even then, it would be exciting!
