Description 

This climbs a right facing corner 30 feet before the obvious arete "Coral Bells Arete". When it reaches the right trending crack/overhang, it follows this until it ends, and then continues straight up the face.


Protection 

Bring your gear as no fixed gear. The piton that Ruckman says is there, isn't.

Took a look at this route again, for a lead attempt. There is some serious fall potential on the crux move, because of the missing piton. About a 20-30 foot pendulum into a dihedral and you still may deck. I would feel "X" is more accurate at this point.

A 2 bolt anchor has been added to this route. Shared with it's 2 neighbors. Also, the missing pin has been fixed with a bolt, after consulting with Gordon Douglas. It is still a runout route, just not a death route. Watch the dihedral swing.

Climbed this one on TR today. This is a fun route that just needs some more love. I want to go back and get it on lead. Beware there is a loose rock before the bolt.
