Description 

This route follows the edges up the face just to the right of the Chair Bivy Crack. Starts out steep, then gently slabs out for the upper portion of the route.

Continuous 5.9 climbing up the entire feature. The route is more technical than it is pumpy. Really enjoyable little face that actually protects.

Location 

Face just to the right of the Chair Bivy Crack. Start the route at the right side corner, work left , work right, follow your pro to the top.

Protection 

Best bet is to HP this route. The gear is there, but it is only apparent when it is actually right at your face.

Protected adequately with a ball nut, a few micro cams, and a offset nut to protect the crux.
