Loose Block

A fun route with a thin and tricky start. Despite the name, loose rock on this climb is not a problem (though wet, seeping rock often is). Not exactly a routine 5.7.

Starting on a slab with sparse protection, move up to a fixed pin about 20' up. Continue up to the base of a short right-facing dihedral with good protection, then climb this dihedral up to a spacious ledge. A second short dihedral leads to a finish just below a big ledge at the top.

Starts about 20' left of Winter's Respite. Rap from ring anchors.

Standard rack, nothing bigger than 2". Bolted anchors at the lip of the ledge.
