Nearing the top of the third pitch of Wailing Banshees
Wailing Banshees is another stellar climb on the Sorcerer that begins below Scirocco. Cruxy face moves right off the ground lead to a huge dihedral that is climbed for almost three pitches. Another 5.11 crux move is encountered on the second pitch in a steep section of the dihedral. Vern S. nears the top of the third pitch as the sun wanes in the west. Photo was taken by Holden Harris from the ridge between the Sorcerer and the Witch Needle.
