Description
This is a two bolt mixed face route, excellent moves and cool climbing, the rock quality is pretty rank but that just adds to the fun!
Start up a nice finger-thin hand crack with good gear until it fades into loose rock, figure out a way to traverse about 10' right to another loose crack making some scrappy moves to a welcome bolt. Ascend more loose grainy flared crack-like face climbing to a committing move up and left to reach another welcome bolt. Grain it out to the top!
