Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description Climb the corner (pair of opposing corners really) and follow the slightly chossy groove above. This leads to a large ledge / terrace underneath the orange headwall, at the top of the cliff, that faces more West than the rest of the crag. Take the obvious, steep, left-leaning splitter through the headwall to the top. Use the same tree anchor as for Ring Of Fire.
This was established ground-up onsight.
Location Start this pitch just right of Ring Of Fire, on the right side of the cliff, in the obvious, main groove / corner.
Protection Standard rack up to one fist-sized cam.
Tree anchor, walk off left.
Nate following the FA. 4/22/07.
