Description
Start in a short crack which leads past a pin and upward onto the face above past three bolts ending on the ledge with Dead Bees.
Share anchors with that route and either rap off via bolts 20 feet right of Bird of Fire or do any of several down climbs available nearby.
Fun moves and good protection are in it's favor, but the large-grained rock detracts somewhat. One star out of five.
Location
The blunt arete right of Dead Bees is home to this fairly well-protected and enjoyable moderate.
