Description 

Climbs the first 2-1/2 pitches of Swoop Gimp, then branches off left via a bolt ladder that leads to a spectacular crack system that shoots up to a big, brushy terrace at the 800' level. An exposed traverse left leads to a final strait-in crack system that is followed to the top. Descend Angles Landing trail. It's mostly aid with some good free pitches. There is some soft rock...we rate this climb as a long grade V.

Location 

Same Start as Swoop Gimp

Protection 

The pin list on the topo is out dated. A recent ascent used only 5 pitons on the entire climb.
