Description This is the second route from the right. It is a very fun, gym-like climb up the steep, east face using the arete on the left. The crux is half-way up followed by a hard move at the last bolt and then a pumpy finish. It's only 5.7 up to the first bolt.
Location This is on the East face, the second route from the right. It climbs a face and arete.
Protection 5 bolts, chain anchor.
Draws and rope show the angle.

Not the best shot, but really shows the steepness.

| This route has excellent thin moves to an off-balance dyno right onto the sharp edge of the arete. The Hipster delivers a lot of pump in 50 feet of climbing. Overall rock quality is excellent, the climbing continuous and interesting. Pro is dead-on perfect. |

| I broke a lower hold off Hipster this morning (7/23/09). Careful of loose rock just above the second bolt. Now there's a solid undercling/sidepull instead of a flat crimp ledge. Great route. |

| Superb climb!!!! Pumpy for the grade but adequate rest 4th and 5th bolt if you can get the feet. There's a jug just behind the anchors with NO chalk, so make the extra two moves to make the clip casual. |
