This route climbs the rappel line from the top of Behind the Yaks into the corridor with North and South Yak.  Five bolts protect the line which trends slightly to the right and then back left.  Be careful.  It's a long way to the first bolt and even though the climbing is not that difficult you are a long way from rescue.

Since you will most likely rappel in to start this route it is easy to toprope.

Beast of Burden

Clint's Escape

Bruce's Escape

This route was essentially soloed by Clint in 1996 as a way to get back out of the corridor.  He returned in 2016 to place three bolts.  The crux is 5-10 feet above the third bolt.  Belay at trees on top.

Note that there are a lot of pine needles on the slopes above the rock. Be careful moving on these with rock shoes.

This route was established as a way to get out of the corridor after climbing on North and South Yak.  It follows a pretty prominent right facing dihedral with a large crack in the back.  Use chimney and off width techniques to climb up 15 feet to the first bolt.  At the top of the dihedral clip a second bolt.  Surmount the roof and belay at a tree above.

Be careful walking on the pine needles above the climb.  They can be slippery in rock shoes.
