Description 

A good technical line on great stone. This line starts to the left of the main panel of stone, below the big tree. First scramble unprotected up the easy low angle ramp to reach the wall proper, head for bolts up the face that head to a shallow dihedral up higher. An initial intricate crux on the face, leads to more interesting climbing in the upper dihedral, with a final crux surmounting a small bulge.

Location 

As described above with the slab and upper dihedral and starting just left of the tree.

Protection 

7 bolts to anchors. The climbing near the 3rd clip makes it difficult to keep the rope from getting behind the legs, plus a balancy clip adds up to ... stay on your toes.
