East of Echo

SAY WHAT? 5.9 *** 125 G

Begin as for East of Echo, but traverse left under the first overhang to climb the corner to the chain anchors. Although squeezed in between the other bolted lines this is a really excellent climb needing a wide range of gear (tiny to big). Climb the face on the right to avoid the dirty lower corner. Overall a sustained well protectable climb with the crux up high.

WHAT 5.9 * 110 F (9b)

The right edge of the Echo face, to the chain anchors. Begin at the bottom of the arête - scramble up the lower half to the challenging upper half.

EAST OF ECHO 5.9 * 100' M (7b)

Start low and 5' right of the small right facing corner, keep right of the corner to climb the initial overhang and the easier middle section. A few small to large cams or nuts are needed. Cold shuts on the top lip. Interesting, varied climbing on good rock, but a bit inconsistent and contrived (easy to avoid strenuous start and higher crux by going left).
