Description

This route is very thin at times plus steepens up to just past vertical for a couple of body lengths. There are multiple cruxes with the true business being the exit moves from the steep headwall near the top. A nice dosage of both thin balancy type moves combined with steeper big hold/big move climbing. Nice position with a great summit view.
