Description 

Beautiful climb! Thanks to Adam Kimmerly for his beta. Here's the pitch breakdown:

P1 - climb obvious gully, moving right onto exposed arete to gain the first belay. 60 feet. 5.7

P2 - climb past slabs to intermediate ledge, continue up steepening face to large ledge. 80 ft. 5.8

P3 - climb over steep bulge to gain the dike seen from below. spectacular climbing. 80 ft. 5.9

P4 - leave the large belay ledge and continue climbing the dike to the summit. 100 ft. 5.10a

There is a variation for the P4 which moves left and crosses over Crap Duster via old pins and then climbs a steep arete to the summit. 5.9+ or 5.10

Location 

Start in the gulley to the right of Crap Duster (the wide crack where the falcons nest) and to the left of Scrotum. If rappelling from the summit, anchors take you right down the dike. From the base of the cliff, the white dike is the most obvious natural line on the face to the left of the South Buttress.

Protection 

10-12 quickdraws + gear for bolted anchors, extendable draws helpful on P1 and P2, Rappel with a 60M rope
