Description
This is an alternative for the one pitch climbs to the right (Howler, etc..). It has 4 pitches on it, the first being the longest and the crux (one move), with 3 other short pitches.
Pitch one: Find a slot with a bolt on the left, climb straight up past 3 more bolts, at the 4th bolt move to the right to gain a jug then pull over, then head straight left to a little alcove (big enough for 3). Bolted anchor, 5.10, 120ft.
Pitch 2: move up the slab above, clipping bolts to a BIG ledge. 60ft 5.7
Pitch 3: Climb a short crumbly crack then step left to a platform. 40ft. 5.7
Pitch 4: climb a shallow crack 5.4 to a final bolt protected move, 5.7, and the anchor bolts. 80ft.
It's not the best of climbs but it is something different than the normal easy slabs off to the right.
Location
Look at the pic.
Protection
A handful of draws and a small rack up to a #3 for pitch 3 $ 4 should be fine.
