Description
Start on the left most side of the Tortuga South wall just before an obvious dirty gully break break in the wall.
Start in a low jug below a shallow, right-facing corner that slowly arches to the right. From this jug, work up and right following the arching feature until you reach a small triangle roof feature that marks the end of the arch. From here, push straight up via side pulls and slopers to gain an okay stance just above the small, triangle feature.
Finish by climbing sightly left over to the break in the wall. Once you reach the break, proceed to downclimb to safety.
This is one of my favorites on the South Wall so far! A must do!!!
