Lone Pine Peak, South Face. On June 14, Chuck Sink and I put up a new route on Lone Pine’s south face. The route begins above the start of the giant couloir cutting the face diagonally. It is nearly all free and follows cracks just right of a prominent right facing dihedral. Other than some minor bushwhacking while searching for the face, we enjoyed excellent climbing on sound rock.
