Description 

Steep face and slab climbing with postive and sharp edges throughout. A bit reachy in spots and will test your footwork and some unconventional body English.

The third bolt may seem far away, but there is a comfortable clipping stance, and the fall is long but safe. The climbing and angle will ease off once you pass this bolt. Ends at two bolt anchor on the traversing ledge of P1 of South Face Direct.

Looks like this route could be a pretty cool start to Corinthian Vine.


Location 

The obvious, three bolt route left of Boot Lead, and twenty feet right of Gill Crack.


Protection 

3 bolts. 2 bolt anchor.
