Topo drawn by Pat Kingsbury


Description 

P1: Start on arete until it's possible to gain the left facing corner above. A bolt protects the traverse to the belay.(5.8)

P2: Follow the face above through 3 roofs/bulges. The climbing gets progressively harder toward the top.(5.11c)


Location 

Located on the north face of the 2nd tier of the Waltz. Start on the grassy ledge about fifty feet right of Dirtburper.


Protection 

P1 takes slcds through 2"-3" and a bolt at the end. P2 is mostly bolts but .4 - .75 camalots or equivalent helps
