Description
A surprisingly pleasurable climb that runs just right of the easy crack climb in the left corner.
It is helpful to be tall to clip the first bolt without getting too far in to the "I don't want to hit the ground zone" (but the bolt could be clipped by using the crack to the left). Another committing series of moves gains the second bolt where the climbing eases a bit while you climb up to the small horizontal crack, place a micro cam or two, and puzzle through the last couple of tricky moves to the top.
Classic south buttress style climbing, low angle, on your feet, but not strict friction.
