Description
Climb Anchovy Caper and continue up to a 2 bolt anchor on the big grassy belay ledge above. Bring up your 2nd and belay from here. Start just right of the belay anchors up to a right facing corner. Traverse left under the roof and a little further to find an easy way over , then back right. (more direct is quite a bit harder) Finish up the slab to the anchors.

Beta: once you reach the roof, traverse pretty far left before going up then angling back right and up to the anchors. The best approach to PH is up The Anchovy Caper and on to the ledge where you will find a 2 bolt anchor. With a 70 m rope and good use of slings you can do this and lower as 1 long pitch."
*Panama Hat renamed Mister Meaner (then back to Panama Hat)
