The Greatest and Best Pitch In The World

Description

Haters gonna hate, flamers gonna flame, trolls gonna troll.  Apparently some people are too thick to get the reference - its a song title.  Its not the literal best pitch in the whole world; that would be the Salathe headwall, done as a single pitch.  Don't be dickfaces and give it zero star ratings when you haven't climbed it and you just got a cactus up your butt over the name.

While its not the literal best pitch in the whole world, it is, however, very unique and very fun.  Bring lots of shoulder-length slings and doubles.  For bonus fun, you can lead Salty Dog Arete and link into the Greatest and Best and do the entire thing as a 68m pitch.  Recommend skipping gear and bolts as much as you can if you attempt this, however, as the rope drag will kill you if you use regular draws and don't skip.

Can get down easily with a single rope by rapping off to climbers left, 3 raps to the ground.

Location

Starts right in the middle of the big comfy ledge.

Also, probably not for the average 10- leader. Exposed climbing with Smith Rock style bolting...

Whatever you do, DO NOT CLIMB UNTIL AT LEAST 3 DAYS AFTER RAIN - IT'S A FRAGILE FEATURE.
