Punch Line

Cobbled Corner

Short, fun route ascends the left face of the sheltered alcove and steps right at the top.

Aim for and pass through the 15-foot long open book that is about 15 feet left of the blocky innermost corner. Coldshuts are at the top of this corner.

Ascends the ramp past Crossover (right of) and continues up the steep, blocky features.

Ascends the ramp past Crossover, past the unnamed 5.11, and then up the steep, blocky features.

Climbs the right side of the Slab. Some of the bolts were placed to protect both an easy option and a more difficult way.

P1-11a, 90', 10 bolts: Climb along the slabby flakes, which gradually steepen, to reach a small right-facing dihedral/overhang. Step and palm left to the anchors. Rappel or climb less continuous second pitch.

P2-10c, ~110', bolted: Move left on the ledge and climb the short, steep headwall to gain the easier ramp above and continue to coldshuts.

These two splitter cracks lie above and left of the Rendezvous Buttress summit, where the slabby apron of the buttress meets the main headwall.

A couple discontinuous systems of thin cracks extend above the right side of the Rendezvous Buttress Slab.

Climb the slabby face to the right facing dihedral.

Offset Roof uses a line about 30 feet left of the Cobbled Corner and may or may not pass through the open book.  At about 145 feet undercling the horizontal roof crack left to a vertical, thin crack on a green lichen face. The chain anchors are about 20 feet above the roof edge.

Two 90-foot pitches lead to the SW corner of the Upper Ramp. Aim for two angle iron hangers that are visible at 35 feet up, then trend left to a ledge with coldshut anchors. The second pitch wanders to the SW corner of the Upper Ramp, but has one bolt at its crux.

Cobbled Corner climbs the blocky, innermost corner of the large left-facing dihedral avoiding the offwidth sections.
