| Hike left along the cliff band. The climb is about 30' left of the Sole Survivor dike and just left of the Robinson Crusoe corner and overlaps. |
Fun climbing on reasonable rock, for Humphrey's. Consider traversing right off the 2nd belay and around the buttress to the last pitch of Robinson Crusoe. (5.9)
Pitch 1: Climb the large blocky right-facing corner to a layback corner and then up and left on a dirty ramp to the big tree ledge.( 5.6)
Pitch 2: Look for two small right facing corners on a dark grey face. Climb the left one past a pin, then trend up and right aiming for a good 2-bolt ring belay bout 20' below the headwall. (5.8)
Pitch 3: Step down and right off the belay, then climb straight up to the headwall and summount the moderately strenuous 5.8 bulge. Follow a groove and crack to the top. (5.8)
