Starting up the dihedral.

Description 

This line offers some excellent marble stone and some fun sinker jug pockets. Unfortunately these are guarded by a somewhat unpleasant, thin start. Its pssible to makes this climb 11+ by avoiding all of the best holds, but most people will climb to the right of the bolt line for the 11- grade.

Technical, thin crimping leads up to a dark brown slab. Cruise the juggy slab towards the obvious, right-facing dihedral. Stem & lieback, clipping left, then step left onto the face to reach the anchor.

Location 

Immediately right of Muscles From Brussels.

Protection 

Light, gray, ring bolts to 2 BA.
