Description
Like its neighbors, Unclaimed's crux breaks through the headwall. This route has the most difficult solution to that obstacle. Climb up tilted block to its end, then friction w/out pro on chocolate-colored rock until it becomes dirty. Work right across the filth, then up and left to the headwall, belaying behind a spruce tree at the base of a 6' tall vertical crack. Climb the crack into the corner above, then step across right, crossing a left-facing flake with a good crack in it, to ascend the unprotected, knob-riddled slab on top of the flake. The knobs end as the angle eases; weave upward, veering to the occasional protection crack as you head for a spruce tree that blocks the final 20' of low-angle slab.
Location
Begin at the lower left corner of the tilted "flagstone" block at the base of the main slab. Descend via rappel off trees.
Protection
Standard Rack plus a wire brush.
