Description
This is the left most climb on the clean face just right of the waterfalls. Moderate face climbing to reach first bolt. Straight up hard moves to good stance at second bolt. Crux is moving past second bolt to third bolt. Here the climb goes up on the left past two bolts to the top. A GREAT variation moves up and right after third bolt to a stance on a small platform on a blank face protected by a fourth bolt. The move up is incredible! You think it's impossible. Very little smudges for hands and basically no footholds. Pull up (on nothing) and reach up and left to good hole hold. This is a must do safe variation which gives huge satisfaction when done!
