Description 

This route has good climbing on each pitch, generally solid rock and an airy finish.

Start to the left of the rappel gullies on a clean, less than vertical crack covered slab. A small tree can be slung for the first piece of pro.

Pitch 1: 110' 5.7
Climb low angled cracks straight up to a rampy crack system heading for a ledge with small trees. Just before the ledge pull a bulge/lie back move (5.7). Belay from trees.

Pitch 2: 100' 5.7
Move left from belay and follow crack system to a short vertical section just below another ledge with trees.

Pitch 3: 120' 5.7
Step left from the ledge and gain a steep crack system with a couple loose blocks. Move carefully up to a another steep corner section in a gap just below the summit. Belay from fixed anchors.

Descent:
Scramble down to climber's right to gain the large notch visible from the ground, and find a sling anchor and rap. Three more single rope raps from trees will bring you to the ground.


Location 

Left of Block Buster, left of rap gullies.


Protection 

Light rack to 4".
