Description Start at the crack on the left side of the wall. Climb approx 30’ to where the crack widens. Clip a bolt and continue up to a pair of cracks. Climb either crack (you’ll find 1.5-2” gear in the left one). After arriving at a ledge, continue on the face to the right of the chimney, clipping two more bolts and placing gear. Finish at a two bolt anchor.

| Nicer route than it looks, though loose stuff mid way adds spice to avoid. Can be well protected w/o the bolts, though, esp. if taking a big cam from El Throay to use down low. |

| kind of rough around the edges still. I wandered left into the corner and got rewarded with a basketball that crashed down on the midway ledge. |

| Roman - I think I may have heard that rock while Geir and I were just south of you on Tornado in Peril...it sounded quite large. Glad you are ok. |

| Not too shabby! The loosest of loose was on the very left of this baby, so watch out! |

| Agree, it climbs better than it looks, once you battle the folliage at the start. :) Mellow climbing for first half to a short, fun, very well protected crux at the double cracks then a 5.8-ish face and bulge section to the top. |

| Good fun route, Can use a lot of cleaning, be super careful specially on the middle section. Tons of loose rock.
I agree with Arjun, no need for bolts.
The rap needs a longer chain, specially the bolt on the left. |
