Description

Climb a series of thin cracks, then small pockets up the grey slab. It's unclear if the wide crack is to be avoided at the top or not, but it's certainly harder if you do.

This route has some nice, but sharp pockets; it's a good one to practice that footwork on.

Location

Just past The Virgin, look for a leaning dihedral with a clean fist crack in the back. The route is immediately left of the crack.

Protection

Bolts.

[Hide Comment] I really enjoyed this route! The upper sequences are a bit hard to read with some hidden feet, but it flows really nicely once you figure it out. Highly recommended. Nov 23, 2017
