Description

This route ascends a face / arete to a short crack on solid rock near the right side of a NW facing block. Difficult moves will be encountered gaining the third bolt and continue to the top. An optional .75" cam will protect the final moves but placement of the cam is strenuous. An 11c rating is solid on lead! Three out of five stars.

Protection

Three bolts and an optional .75" cam for a crack near the top. Small to medium cams are necessary for an anchor. Downclimb a 5th class chimney to the climber's left for the descent.

[Hide Comment] Nice route. Some pretty hard pulls in the middle bit.
