Description 

This is route #14 in the online LAM guide.

Start in the blocky crack system in a shallow right facing corner and work up to a stance where it changes to a left facing corner. Watch the abundant loose rock at this stance. A hand crack continues up the intersection between the face on the left and the arete/nose on the right. Follow the crack on up as it narrows to fingers, to the top of the pillar at the top of the arete, where there is a shaky block (with loose gravel) and poor protection. From the top of the pillar, head up the face to the left on easier ground, but with poor protection.
An OK lead, but loose and not terribly interesting.

Location 

Easily identified by the prominent flat-bottomed nose/arete just to its right.

Protection 

Standard cams and nuts.
Fairly straightforward to set for a TR with the standard White Rock accessories.
