Description
Yup, as a friend once said of another climb: "Lot's of "plus" in that!"
The opening traverse moves are about 5.5+/-R with certain groundfall; stick-clipping the first bolt eliminates the "R".
START - Where the path rises, about 20 ft right of "Ocsar's Last Stand", and below the right hand of two HUGE solution pockets.
P1 - Climb to the right-hand pocket, move left to the left-hand pocket and clip the bolt. If necessary, dry your feet (pockets often have water) and then climb the smooth slab (crux, bolt #2) and on to the very nice crack above. 90 ft 5.7+
Best to find a directional above the crux to protect the follower(s) from a big swing on the crux.
P2 - "The Notches" lists a 2nd pitch of 70 ft.
