Description 1. Climb the corner to the overhang. Step right and then up and left - a tricky move. Continue left past an optional tree belay to small ledges below a face near an outside corner.
2. Climb left and up the face, past a large flake, to an overhang. Climb through the overhang, then another overhang, and up right to the GT Ledge and tree belay.
Location At the large right-facing corner uphill and right of the McCarthy Wall (Coexistence et al.).
Protection Standard Gunks rack. Rappel from tree - be careful to move your knot below the notch, as stuck ropes have happened.

| The "optional belay" tree in the corner is dead. It still has slings on it though. A better descent option to rap from the tree at the top of P2 to the bolts that are 25ft left of you when you're at the P1 belay. I'm not sure what route that is - something just right of co-ex. |

| Beware of the white flaky rock beneath the first overhang on pitch 2. Most of it flexes and wobbles when you pull or step on it which can't be avoided as you step up to the overhang. Go lightly. A large block off to the left is completely detached and just sitting on the block beneath it. |

| I recently got a rope stuck on the rappel off of this route, at the notch right at the top lip. I noticed that a previous tick here on MP says the same happened to them. So: be mindful of your rope flossing that notch. It's definitely best to bring the knot down with you past the lip. Double 60m ropes will still get you down to the ground even if you bring the knot down past the lip in this way. |
