Pine Climb

A super stellar moderate. 150' of mostly crack climbing. Follow flakes and cracks, up and right, around the giant alcove in the middle of the Garbage Gully wall. The first crux is a beautiful 10b roof move that exits a beauty dihedral. The higher crux is 10c, well protected, and strangely awkward and "balancy".

Crux is from bolts 1-3. Follow to bolt line and join the last bolt of Cool Hand Luke.

Climb the easy highly featured face (somewhat friable rock) behind the pine tree.  A bolt protects easy moves getting onto a small ledge.  Climb past 2 bolts on small holds (crux) to easier terrain.  A final bolt protects the last set of moves before the difficulties cease.  The last bolt protects two options for the final section, left up the seam, or right up the face.  The seam may be slightly harder.

Although the hard moves on this route are well protected the easier climbing is not.  Probably not a sport route even though the crux climbs like one.

The climbing is decent, if it was a little more continuous it would rate more stars.

Follow the decent hand crack system up and left, pushing past two bushes.

Mule Skinner is the steep arete located half-way up Garbage Gully on the left.  Belay from down low below the route on a small loose platform.  Start by stick-clipping the 1st  and 2nd bolts.  As of 6/2017 there is a long stick at the base.

2 or 3 stars - your choice.  Crux is moving above ramp.
