1st pitch is long with the crux just about half way.

Pitch 5 and 6 haven't been freed yet and more than likely the 6th will be the true crux pitch if it goes free.

The Force Boyle.

Blockhead

Settlers Line

Many blockhead moves were committed this day. Including a trundle following pitch 1, which tacks on a solid "+" to grade. I even had a camera up there but never took shots of the line - yep - it's that good! It is worth doing if you are up there with some time left for climbing.

P1 5.10+  Wide jams to an offwidth bulge.

P2 5.9+   Mostly hand jams in the corner.

P2 has a single bolt anchor - another blockhead moment.

Settlers Line is an excellent offwidth and chimney route. The rock is bomber throughout the route. The summit is only as big as a living room and dead flat.

p1:Follow low angle hand crack to hard part right at the end.(100ft)5.9

p2:Face climb up to bolt 10 feet above the anchor. Then climb straight up over a small roof via a #1 camalot crack. Then traverse 5 feet to the left into a #4 crack. Follow this crack as it grows into a #5 to #6 and ends with a layback 8 inch crack to good ledge with a anchor.(100ft)5.10

p3:Follow splitter 6 inch crack with a bolt at 25 feet for 60 feet to another ledge.(60ft)5.10+

p4:Excellent squeeze chinmney with 11 bolts. No trad gear possible.(160ft)5.10

p5:Climb squeeze chimney 10 feet to bolt and continue up chimney to big ledge.(100ft)5.9

p6:Climb soild white face up to red corner and top out.(100ft)5.9
