Description 

Steep, clean, high quality, white granite corner.

Belay below a roof on gear. Pull the roof with hands to a rest. Then continue up an increasingly difficult corner. There are not many places to rest once you enter the business on this one so bring your boosters and endurance.

Watch out for loose gravel at the top belay. The leader can easily kick some of it down the corner.

Location 

Follow approach for Overhang Bypass. Rappel the route from chains or continue on to the summit. For the summit option see Overhang Bypass pitch 4 & 5.

Protection 

Pro to 2.5" Bring extra yellow through orange aliens or equivalent cams.
