Description 

NUMBER 2 on the Topo. Start up an ill-protected, knobby face underlying a rounded lip and waterstreak. Place an optional #1 Camalot prior to mounting the slightly overhanging lip on dicey crystals (you can clip the first hanger if you have a big ape index). Continue up and right past the four bolts on successively smaller/thinner edges that seem to vanish! The crux is to the left after the 4th bolt. Stretch it, man. Place a cam or two above the crux if you're still shaking.

NOTE: Alternate 2nd Pitch, No. 5 on the topo, 3 bolts, 5.9+ and a little run out. Follow the bolt line. Don't get suckered left or right. Exciting! 2 bolt anchor just right of top. 2 rope rap to the ground.


Protection 

This is a mixed climb, so take at least 8 QD's, and at least 2 #0.75 and 2 #1 Camalots. There's a 2 bolt and chain anchor at the top. A 60 M rope will get you all the way back to the ground.
