The Pedestal

Description

Start from the left boulder at an easy-to-clip bolt (stick clipping the second bolt isn’t a bad idea to keep the rope and climber from being scraped up in case the bouldery start becomes problematic). Head up the easy face to a ledge and some broken rock. Go left of the bush (if it is still there...), and proceed to stand up on the pedestal (you’ll find it no problem). Once up on the dais, head up the technical face. Staying left is probably more intense; heading right puts you on or near

Bashful

. Both ways are nice!

Location

From the west, traverse along the cliff bottom, and step down a few steps at a cave-like overhang. Continue east under a buttress (the start of

Rainbird

and

Redbird

) around to a corner (

Tenacious

), and find a large boulder, the Impact Zone (so-called due to the propensity for plunging projectiles to impact in that area). Continue under and beyond the IZ Boulder, and find a severely undercut face with some smaller boulders beneath it. The Pedestal is the left route and

Bashful

is the right route.

Protection

13 bolts + chains.
