Steck-Salathé Route

The Steck-Salathé Route is a technical climbing route up Sentinel Rock. The route was first climbed June 30 - July 4, 1950, by Allen Steck and John Salathé, up the 1,600-foot (490 m) north face of Sentinel Rock in Yosemite Valley.

The route is recognized in the historic climbing text Fifty Classic Climbs of North America.[1]

Derek Hersey died while free-soloing the route in 1993.
