Description
A classis route that begins with a strenuous layback! Start 25' left of Criss, at a 10'-high right-facing corner with a hand crack that goes through the bulging overhang above the corner. This is about 30' right of Broken Sling.
P1: Jam and layback up the crack, then climb straight up past a fixed pin and several small overhangs to a tiny stance and belay at a fixed anchor of three pitons with chains. A #.75 Camalot protects the bouldery moves up to the pin. 5.10a, 60'.
P2: Seldom done these days. Move up and left past a small left-facing corner, then up past an overhang to another left-facing corner and a roof. Exit right and continue to the top. 120'.
