Description 

Center Left Face is a highly overlooked, beautiful climb.

P1. Start at a hard to locate (tons of flakes and cracks) duel cracks. Fun pitch.

P2. Then head right to a big, broken right facing corner.

Pitch 3 is reeely good if you like #4 Camalot sized slots. Wow! Route finding was a bit strange at the end of this pitch. I went right around the roof and headed up a right-facing corner (watch rope drag!) to a uncomfortable but airy belay.

Pitch 4 step right and crank the bitchin', cool, open book for a full.

Yeah, it's a haul up to this rock, but it's worth it.


Protection 

Bring a standard rack and at least one or two #4 Camalots for pitch 3.

Yup this is a good route. Pitches 3 and 4 are super good. Pitch 4 has cracks that are soooo good! P.S. I climbed this route with Paco- he thought he gave me the crappy pitches! Sucker!!
