Description

This fine 3 pitch route tops out on the right side of the Picnic Lunch Wall. Most people stop after the first pitch but the increasingly difficult 2nd and 3rd pitches make for a very enjoyable outing.

Start as for Highway 97:

P1: 5.11b Pockets and knobs up a bolted face. Alternatively, you can start on La Siesta (5.11d) for a slightly more challenging first pitch.

P2: 5.11d More edging and pockets lead up to a final runout traverse.

Now you're into the actual D.G. pitch:

P3: 5.12c The crux pitch-- climb up the steep final face on a series of very thin pockets.

Location

The far right side of the Picnic Lunch Wall.

Protection

Quickdraws, 60m rope for rappelling.
