Description
Second route as you arrive to the wall. Climbs just right of the huge roof.
Fun climb. Probably only a one star but I gave it two because it's long single pitch route. Tough start but eases up, then leads to another 5.10 move, eases again then the final crux before the chains. A lot of, almost too good, resting spots on this route.
Protection
12 Quickdraws (8 bolts, 2 fixed pitons, 2 anchors). Some small nuts small cams can add additional protection at the top.
The 2 fixed pitons are the last protection before the top anchors- the first one is hard to locate (after a small runout above last bolt, placed deep in a horizontal crack).
60m rope (Unclip rope from several draws on descent so a 60m rope will get you back to earth easily)
Use long draw on 1st bolt (or backclean it) to prevent rope drag.
