This fantastic climb ascends the face and arete on the left edge of the Emotional Rescue formation.

Emotional Rescue

A 12' roof crack starting fingers and quickly going to hands then OW. Circus tricks ensue to gain a wide horn at the lip.

2 start variations. 1) Head straight up from the base.  2) traverse in underneath the roof on brittle & crumbling flakes.

2 finish variations.  a) cut left to exit the dihedral and scamper to the anchors on easy terrain or b) make a bold move up and right of the dihedral on a tricky mantle.

Another awesome climb; Bish starts at the

SUMMIT

of Lubricated Goat.  From the top of L.G., hike right about 50' and you will see a dike which traverses to the right across the large formation with Emotional Rescue, even crossing that route at one point.  Traverse past a FP, many bolts, and after crossing 2 crack systems, you will come to a double bolt belay stance, which is the end of pitch one.

Pitch two, steps back into an easy wide crack which is just left of the belay, and climbs about 40 feet to the top, where there is another 2 bolt belay.  Make a short rap from here, and you are at the start again of Bish. Then rap down Lubricated Goat, and remember;

YOU CANNOT RAP LUBRICATED GOAT IN ONE RAP. EITHER BRING TWO ROPES, OR RAP TO A BIG FLAKE IN A GULLY, AND DO ONE MORE SHORT RAP TO THE GROUND, OR DOWN-CLIMB THE LAST BIT TO THE GROUND. DO NOT RAP OFF THE ENDS OF YOUR ROPE.

Some people rap straight down from the belay at the end of the traverse.  This works too.....
