Description
This along with Blackheart are located on the nice looking "3-tiered" face on the far left side of the Ken Black Memorial Dome formation. The face is visible from the paved pullout on the south side of the road. This is the righthand line passing a couple of bolts to a two-bolt rappel anchor.
Protection
Hard, grainy, and sequential moves around the first bolt. The R rating comes from the opportunity to place some really small gear in an overlap, right about the height you could deck from. There is pro available in the horizontal break (1.5" cam and a big nut?) before the second bolt. The moves at the second bolt are pretty hard and grainy. Place some more pro in the next horizontal (1" - 2") and then share the anchor with Blackheart.
