Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description Large ominous looking dihedral just to the right of Pop Bottle. The route starts up the corner with thin fingers and dikes. The very start is a bit runnout if you're not packing some small offset nuts. Otherwise, you can sew it up. Continue up to a short chimney section where you place good gear deep inside and climb on the dikes on the outside. The difficulty backs off a bit and you reach a large ledge where you have to crawl out right across and over a large block that looks as if it could fall at any minute. Don't worry, its a lot more solid than it looks. Now continue up the corner making a few 5.9 moves (with good pro) to avoid some bushes. Finish on the large ledge just below East Corner. A great alternative first pitch to East Corner.
Location Finish by walking the third class ramp to the left or better yet, on East Corner.
Protection Cams .5"-2" Nuts 1 set, RP's (offsets usefull)
