Description
The steep face just right of Polly's Crack. Very thin, very pumpy face climbing on small holds. Historically, the route started up the easy crack to the right (RDD Crack), requiring gear or an easy bit of soloing. In December 2023, a 5.10+, two-bolt direct start was added directly below the steep face.
Climb past these two glue-in bolts on somewhat chossy rock to the ledge. At the ledge, clip another new bolt which serves as a rope management bolt to keep the climber from getting flossed during a fall. Make a couple moves up the easy crack to the right to reach left to clip the high bolt protecting the crux. Climb back down to the ledge. Fire straight up on poor holds for the bouldery crux and keep cranking up the face.
Climbing left of the bolt line from the big ledge, using the arete, keeps the grade around 5.12b/c.
