Wallaby, North Face. On June 24, Andy Selters, Chuck Sink and I completed a four-pitch route up the north face of Wallaby on Kangaroo Ridge. We entered the face from the west on scree and began roped climbing at a ledge with whitebark pines. The route followed cracks, a small left-facing corner and ramp system to a recess three pitches up. A rising leftward traverse beneath an overhang ended at the top of the face. The rock was variable.
