below a water streak. Climb up the face past two bolts to an anchor.

Peggy brought two left climbing shoes (Boreal Fires), hence the route name.

Rappel with one rope.

Begin at the left end of the south face and climb a low angle crack (some loose rock) that eventually becomes steeper and arches right underneath a large roof. The crux (11d), protected by a #00 TCU, black alien, or small stopper, entails committing moves to the portion of the crack where the roof begins. From here, underclings and hand / fist jams for 80 ft. lead to the anchors (sustained 5.10).

A two bolt direct start is possible about 20' right of the normal start and joins the route after the crux making this an easier option (5.11a).

Pitch #2 (5.10) is a short traverse and consists of climbing that is comparable to the latter part of the first pitch.

Pitch #3 (11d) is initially very bouldery and deceptively difficult from the onset. Very small cams / stoppers and two fixed copperheads (solid) protect the hardest moves.

Classic route in a secluded setting.

This route goes up the right side of a giant boulder just before you get to the Grey Giant.

Sustained face climbing takes you past three bolts and up to a belay/rappel anchor.
