Yet another right-facing dihedral -- this one with a straight-in hand crack, bolts on the face to the right, and varying cracks to the left.
Start between Almost French and Almost Gothic. Fire straight up the dihedral, with enjoyable stemming and jamming. Practice the mantra "pull down, not out" on the loose blocks on the left wall. The last bolt is placed on the right face, beneath a flake. Two finish options exist -- straight up the dihedral (using the wide-ish fist crack) or undercling right at the flake and power upwards (good hands, not so good feet). The flake option is more difficult, but less thuggish.
The bolts are spaced fairly wide for a sport cliff, but the solid hand jams inspire confidence.
A 5.9 variation to the route breaks left into a crack around the fourth bolt, and finishes on separate anchors on the left wall of the dihedral.
6 bolts plus anchors.

As for the finish, yeah, I stepped right to the undercling, clipped B6, and thought about doing the face move up and over..., but the corner crack kept calling, so I finished up trad style instead. I didn't feel much risk, and the trad finish probably kept the whole thing at cruiser 5.8. Jan 3, 2026
