Pitch 1- Scramble up rubble slope to small tree. From there a few tenuous moves lead to a soft, narrow ledge system leading up and right. Climb up this and clip the first bolt at about 40 feet. Follow three more bolts up and left (a bit runout). Then climb up and right past one more bolt to a two bolt belay and stance. 5.9+ r 115 ft. Pitch 2- Step right and clip bolt. Pull the bulge and climb up and right to another bolt. Good face climbing up and left past 5 more bolts then up and right past a soft section to a three bolt belay on a small stance. 5.11d 100 ft. Pitch 3- Climb up past two bolts negotiating a loose block. After the second bolt, move right into the corner forming the left side of the pillar. Mixed crack and face leads past one more bolt to a three bolt belay on a perfect ledge atop the pillar. 5.10 110 ft. Pitch 4- Climb up killer holes past three bolts. Move left on very tenuous moves past three more bolts. Climb straight up past loose flake on the left and a bolt to steep climbing on crimpers and another bolt. From there, traverse left to gain steep ramp and more tenuous climbing. Climb up and left to easier climbing, then scramble back right to the two bolt belay on top of the wall. 5.12 R 120 ft.
Note- Bolted on lead, all bolts placed from free stances.
