Description 

A great route with fun moves and some wild exposure! The route is mostly sustained 5.9 with a couple of 5.10 cruxes. There are three rappel stations, which allows the use of one 60m rope. The first pitch is 180 feet and can be broken up into two pitches, but it is best to climb past the first set of anchors (which is a little off route anyway). The second pitch is 80 feet and gains anchors at the top of the wall. Rappel the route, three rappels.

Location 

Obvious route up the middle of the wall. The climb finishes to the right of a large right facing corner at the top of the wall.

Protection 

16 draws for the 180 foot first pitch. If you don't have 16 draws, the route can be broken up into 3 pitches (not recommended). 60m rope.
