Basic Rock Climb - Pinto Rock/Bowling Alley
A 4 pitch 5.4 climb on welded tuft, with a very short approach and a scenic placement between Adams, Rainier and St Helens. The climb is especially valuable as a first rock lead for those new leaders wishing to practice transitions. Can be climbed using Sport anchors or Slings on Chickenheads, or a combination of both. This is a mentored climb for Ben Witten.
