Description 

The Rubster takes you to the highest point of the rocks that form this section, and provides fine exposed face climbing on the second pitch.

1. 5.10b Climb the arete, either by laybacking the edge or using small crimps on the left side. At the top of the arete move up the slab and climb the short face and slab up to the anchors.

2. 5.10a Climb up the slabby face to the obvious break just below the midway point. From here continue up the steeper head wall to a precarious couple of last moves up to the spectacular summit.

Location 

Located to the right of Fat Bastard.

Walk around the large boulder on the right of the area. Scramble up some rounded boulders to get to the base of the climb.

Protection 

1. 5 bolts, double ring anchors
2. 6 bolts, ring and bolt anchor
