Description
This is a really good route. If you brought your trad rack, do it! It feels like a sport route with gear. Start by climbing up some large flakes, head up and left to reach the bolt on a thin face. Make one thin, technical move (crux) and then head up and right to a stance. The crux is much easier if you are tall. Otherwise you won't be able to easily reach past it. The fall is safe though and is protected by a bomber bolt. From here, climb up the overhanging face on jugs and plates to the finish.
