Greg or Stacey:

What's that new route you guys put up on Pyramid that branches off Sweet Patato Pie and goes left?

I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

The Last of the Unplucked Gems 5.7 G 90’ / N / T
FA: S. Couturier, G. Hughes 2008.10.18
FFA: G. Hughes, S. Couturier 2008.10.18

Same start as Sweet Potato Pie. At the top of the slab make one move up right trending diagonal ramp then step left. Continue up and slightly left through a crack system and ledges between Sweet Potato Pie and About a Rope, finishing at a large ledge with mature Spruce tree. Fun finish with exhilarating moves on 20’ vertical headwall.

V1 A slightly more direct start can be climbed by beginning at an 8 foot totem block just right of the alcove from About a Rope. Climb up the block, step right and then continue relatively straight up from there.

The last time I did Sweet Potato Pie I took the direct start up the buttress. Much much better.

SPP actually took that start up the bouldery block with the handcrack in the right side on original FA. Never did go up the easier rib between that and Puff.
Safety third!!!
