Description 

Climb holds that look like stacked cards. Nice sharp jugs that jut from the wall. There is a rest about 20 feet up but it really does not do much good. Make 2 moves on a short tuffa then head out the roof on mostly underclings. Eventually you will be able to lean back onto the base of the finishing corner which juts out behind you. Head up the corner to the anchors.


Location 

This climbs the eastern arch from the eastern side and finishes up the south face.


Protection 

Bolts to a bolted anchor.

Its really not that bad. I agree the rock looks like total choss, but nothing broke on me. This is a pretty amazing feature, and for that reason alone its a classic, even if the climbing isn't all that spectacular.

The rock is extremely sharp though. I would save this for your last day, cause your palms will be thrashed when you're done.
