★ The Ledger 5.7

Park at White Rock Trail Head (there's a small dirt lot right next to Scenic Route Drive) if you want to cross country or at the main trailhead lot if you wish to take the trail to the gully.

Approach:

You can cross country the flats (with lots of small gullies) or use the gully which White Rock Loop crosses and goes up the mountain right next to The Ledger.

Descent:

There are 3 possible routes out:

• Rappel down the route. This is the easiest and safest, you can do a single rappel from pitch 2 with a 70 meter rope.
• Scramble to the right about 75 meters, then down a gully to a tree and use it to rap to the ground. Two 60 meter ropes.
• Go left and scramble down the gully. This involves 3 rappels on suspect webbing and quite a bit of route finding.

Pitches:

1. 25m: 5.5 Corner climb to a ledge with bolts. Crack gloves are useful but not required.

2. 30m: 5.7 Scramble up the staircase and around the corner, then up the dihedral to a large ledge. Anchor to the webbing and cord around a bolder.

3. 20m: 5.7 (possibly 5.8) around the corner to the right and up a slab to the final bolts. This is quite exposed and is sure to get the heart pumping.

Protection: Up to Camalot #3
