Description

Route No. 1 on the beta photo, fairly easy face moves lead to a thin, bolted (!) finger crack that underlies a roof with some tricky, balancy moves at the grade. The 'thank God' jug is not there, so go for what you can get.

Protection

6 bolts and a 'peg' with Fixe Ring Anchors at top.

Maybe there is a bolt or two too many, but this pitch is relatively clean and has two distinct cruxes with two distinct types of climbing. Aug 2, 2007

I thought this was a great route. True about the bolts; could have used gear for the middle half; but still very good. Sep 29, 2007

Eats blue and yellow TCUs. Really fun route. Cool finish off the arête through the roof. Aug 9, 2015
