Description 

This climb has a lack-luster first pitch but the second pitch makes it a worthwhile endeavor.

Pitch 1: Begin at the left side of a buttress. There is a single bolt about 15 ft off the ground. Pull a cruxy 5.10- move to get to the bolt. Continue up easier ground with sporadic protection to a ledge with bolted anchors.

Pitch 2: This is an amazing pitch! It goes from tight hands to hands up a wide angled dihedral. Savor every jam with great protection to bolted anchors.

Location 

The route lies about 50ft to the right of the large corner mentioned for this area. Begin below a single bolt near an arete on the left side of a blocky buttress.

Protection 

standard rack to #3.5 camalot.
