Description
Another nice friction climb with a steep start that makes stick-clipping the first bolt a prudent choice.
Follow the steep face to a small overhang (pro can be placed here or in the small vertical crack below it). Continue up the right side of a big flake and onto gradually easier terrain to the top.
Location
About 50' right of Mikey's Mantle.
Protection
Mixed; some small to medium gear is needed to supplement the three bolts. Build a gear anchor at top; rap from a pine tree.
I have never used a stick clip until the day I lead this climb. The ground drops away to the climbers right, so even though you only have to climb 10' to the first bolt, you'll fall 15' and roll/bounce another 10'.... over rocks. No ego that day. Great climb with pleasant moves and exciting but still (somewhat) safely spaced fixed pro.
