A steep move to enter the offwidth.

Description Scramble up a slab to a crack which becomes an offwidth. Climb the OW to the ledge and belay. Tunnel through to the right and climb the chimney to a ledge below an easy crack to the summit. After repeating it recently I thought it a tiny bit stiff for 5.7. Al rated it 5.9 but I think 5.8- is closer.
Protection Standard Rack to 4".

| Alternate: on the first pitch continue past the ledge up into a shaded o/w crack which is Secovar. Follow this to a ledge with bolts for a 30m pitch. Head rightward on SE Corner to top out. You can place a #6 cam at the crux. |
