线路 in Bon Echo for selected grade

Alternate ending for The Slab.

Start: about 120m north of the (first) easy way down, at the bottom of a major ramp. The climb generally stays near the outside edge of the ramp.

1. 10m Scramble up the rock spike on the left-hand edge of the slab.

2. 40m Climbing near or on the outside edge, move up to a wide ledge with a good belay.

3. 28m Go more or less straight up.

4. 25m Climb up 3m and move right accross the slab to an obvious crack. Climb up the crack to the pine tree, which turns out to be a cedar (very old -- don't touch). (Variations are possible.)

5. 15m Scramble to the top.

4(a). 5.5 From the end of the third pitch, there appears to be a good crack going diagonally up to the left. It leads out onto the face. Follow the crack up past one cedar to another one. Climb back up and right to get onto the ramp near the end of the last pitch of the regular route. This variation has been climbed accidentally many times over the years.

(Was in the database as "White Pine". There is no such named route at Bon Echo, so guessing the original contributor meant "One Pine", and renamed to that to preserve the ascents.)

Massive rock fall has obliterated this route. Description is in guide only for posterity.
