Climb the slab and cracks until you reach a good stance at an anchor (100 feet). Pitch 2: Traverse up and left to a group of trees for another belay. Pitch 3: Head over easier terrain to a belay tree below the summit. Pitch 4: Finish up an easy 5.3 crack system. (Alternate finish: After the first pitch, head to the tree line, and bushwack to the ridge.)

Five Fun

Sunspots

Climb up to the headwall and traverse left of the steepest section. Follow the golden streaked rock up to the ledge with several trees. Gear is good but be prepared for unusual placements.

These slabs are below the Pinnacle Ridge outlook area. Expect run outs!
