Description 

Climb easy rock past two bolts to a stance below a shield feature on the right side of the West Wall. Consider skipping these bolts or backcleaning to avoid drag. The climbing to this point is trivial, but the rock is poor. Using drilled pockets and sidepulls, pull a bouldery sequence (crux) to a stance. Continue up using more drilled pockets and arete features through another crux (easier than the first) section to the anchor.

The rock on the face is very solid, but seems to stay quite dirty.

Location 

Right of Crackalicious

Protection 

10 bolts, ring anchors
