Making the crux transition from the seam to the ve...


Description 

This fine face route lies on the outside face of the Arrowhead flake. Begin on the right side of the face where a thin seam/crack heads up the face to about 1/2 height. Climb the face and seam/crack past 5 bolts (10c/d), move left and up on ultra thin face past the 6th bolt (12a) which leads to easier (10+/11-) but sustained climbing to a 2 bolt anchor (also used by Firewater Chimney). 90 foot lower/off and/or rappel.


Protection 

10 bolts, 2 bolt anchor/90+ foot rap. (Optional blue TCU between 4th & 5th bolts.)

Very well protected with a short and technical crux. Interesting climbing for the full length of the route.
