Description
Easily done in a single pitch this semi-classic requires being versed in a variety of techniques to succeed.
Begins in a chimney/offwidth (facing left is easier) which narrows higher and transitions into a flake which is lie-backed to it's end near a horizontal to a delicate slab climbing finish.
Four stars out of five.
