Ascents: 8

description

Starts at the right side of the sector.

5.6 40m. Climb the slab in the corner that angles rightwards. Some yellow-orange lichen, for which the climb is named, is still visible. Finish at the bolted anchor, or the nice ledge (build your own belay) a few meters up and right.
5.5 35m. Climb up a few meters, then traverse right -- don't go as high as the bolted anchor. Ends at a bolted anchor below a chimney.
5.7R 20m/35m. Pull the roof to the right on good holds, but well above your gear. Then up the chimney. Belay on the cedar (usually slings) at 20m, or continue another 15m up vegetated steps to belay in the trees. (More comfortable for the walk-off).

Descend by walking up, and either continuing up and left to the hiking trail and down that. Or breaking right, and descending the couloir (gully) between 10,000 Zulus and Adagio.
