Description
A pretty good climb and reasonably protected, but not entry-level at its grade. The route is mostly easier, but is a little technical and devious through the crux bulge.
This climb starts up as for 'Solo Mission' and follows that climb for perhaps 2/3 of its length before solo mission exits left onto a slab heading for a low angle corner. At that time, continue up some moderate but poorly protected rack in a shallow and rounded left-facing corner. A bolt will come into reach up and left (clip it) and then soon another as you reach the top of the corner, in a small roof. Clip the second bolt and do the crux to get established above the roof. The finish is moderate.
