One Pine

Fun interesting moves on positive holds all the way.

Please respect (and nurture?) the little pine tree that gives this route its name.

. . . (What species is it?)

Start on the base platform of the Big Dihedral, on right side of chimney in left side of the giant inside corner / open book. Work up through various diagonal cracks. Where bolt line forks, trend left to the pine tree growing in the midst of the face. Then straight up to top of face. Next bear Right up short slab to reach two-bolt anchor at top edge of cliff. Can stop here and rappel or lower-off. Or continue higher on vague ridge to belay anchor (one bolt and one cord loop) at the level of the gentle ledge at the top of the Big Dihedral.

descent

: Can rappel off the lower two-bolt anchor (but need to add your own equipment as of 2018), or there is a rappel station 15-20 ft right of the higher belay anchor. The higher anchor is not designed for rappel (might get rope stuck).

warning

: The rock in this sector has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

On the base platform of the Big Dihedral, on right side of chimney in left side of the giant inside corner / open book.

Reach this platform by walking left along base of sector 8 Dostie, then up and left around corner on rough trail. Trail goes out right away from rock face then up + left toward it. See the Big Dihedral above left. Soon leave approach trail and scramble up left to wide platform.
