120m, 5 pitches.
On the Smith Rock Group.
A good sustained climb at the 5.8/5.9 level that makes for an enjoyable few hours.
Start by climbing Adventurous 9904 which is on a large pillar. From near Asterisk pass the pillar looks partially detached.
Pitch 1: 5.8
Romp up on knobs past several bolts to the top of the Pillar and belay.
Pitch 2: 5.9
Start by leaning over the chimney that separates the main wall and the pillar to clip a bolt then step across. Climb up and left to a belay anchor.
Pitch 3: 5.9
Move up and left to a small ledge just above the belay and make an airy move onto the face. Climb up and left on knobs and pockets, airy and exciting! There is another bolted line that goes straight up a few bolts after stepping across, do not follow it. Belay at the base of an arete after about 60 feet.
Pitch 4: 5.9
Make a few exciting moves up the arete before veering right and following an edge dropping away below your feet. The climbing eases a bit before reaching a belay on a low angled slab.
Pitch 5: 5.8
Race up the slab and then finish on jugs on one final steep section of the headwall and belay.
Descent
With single 60m rope...
1- Rappel from the perch to the ledge below. Rap to the East. Walk down hill about 50 feet and look for another rappel anchor on the West side.
2- Rap back down to the anchor on the arete at the start of pitch 4
3- Rap down and look for another anchor on a ledge to the right a bit.
4- Rap to the ground.
