Description 

An upper wall classic without the traffic you would expect from such a fun climb. With long corners, big roofs, tricky aid, and some free climbing, this 6 pitch route is a great warm up for Yosemite. It does get some runoff when the weather is wet.


Location 

As you arrive at the wall after about 45min of hiking, look 30’ to the left. Either aid up the thin line or climb 5.9+ just left of that. You will see a beautiful long corner about 60’ up the wall, that is the second pitch!


Protection 

Your basic aid rack with a few larger pieces.
