Crazy Horse

A bold route that almost never gets done. If you’re hooked on runout slabs and have a cool head, this might be for you, just make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into before you set off. Crazy Horse follows a direct line up the slabs to the left of the Miner-Joseph King Dike, starting from the bottom of the slabs.Pitch 1:From the base of the slabs, climb pretty much straight up the challenging friction slab left of the MJKD, through a steep bulge. The only gear is desperate pro behind suspect flakes. Keep your head and don’t blow it. Belay at a bush on the left side of an overlap on gear. 5.9 R 100'Pitch 2:A cool pitch with some interesting protection, though still fairly bold. Climb up the slab above following a line of solution pockets. Here is where you break out the beloved tricams! Get a good last tricam in where the pockets end and run it out straight up to the tree cluster near the dike route, belay from trees. 5.8 PG13 130' Descent:Rap with 2 ropes.

The steep slabs to the left of the Miner-Joseph King Dike (leftmost of the 2 obvious dikes) and about 100 feet right of the big, vegetated corner known in the guidebook as Mistaken Identity.

A good assortment of tricams, plus a small nuts and small cams.
