This is the striking finger crack on the East face. 

  P1: (5.10-, 80) Start in dirty cracks on East face. Climb up and left on good gear to a small roof. Hand traverse under the roof for a wild exit into the finger crack. Follow the finger crack past a tree to a nice belay ledge. This pitch is covered in moss and lichen but is surprisingly fun! 

  P2: (5.8, 80) Climb the clean finger crack as it slowly widens to hands. If this pitch was anywhere near a road, it would be an all-time classic! 

  Descent: From the summit, scramble down to a minor summit with webbing. A single 70m rope will get you down.

Portal Peak is a great spire across the trail from a massive group of rocks known as the Torch. The West face is blocky and holds a Conn route and the East face is steep and split by a beautiful finger crack.
