The start of Close To The Edge


Description 

1st pitch: Start immediately to the right of Tobin's Dihedral and stay close to it's edge. Come ready to place oppositional nuts in horizontals, tie off chickheads and clip a few bolts.

2nd pitch: Continue up the corner/crack of Tobin's. You can break out right on the face and clip bolts or continue until corner runs out.

3rd pitch: Continue up the face clipping bolts. Climbing gets easier the higher you get.


Protection 

Assortment of small to large stoppers with matching cams, tie off slings for chickenheads and draws
