Description 

Reaper is the namesake climb of the Reaper Buttress, an obvious square shield of rock low on the Central Gully Right Side. The climb tackles the sickle-shaped crack that splits the wall.

P1: Follow a steep crack in the middle of the buttress up past a fixed pin and mantle up and head right to an uncomfortable belay in a large pod. This pitch is a bit goey; hopefully the pin is good. 50', 5.11a.

P2: Follow the steep, awkward leaning crack out across the face. 75', 5.11b.

Burly!
