Description

A fun, easy chimney sequence gets things started. The crux face moves are located mid-route. Nice steep rock leads to the anchors.

Better rock quality and better movement than the more-famous arete.

Location

Climbs the center of the East face.

Protection

6 lead bolts (with 2 additional off-route bolts to the right--one of which is a classic 1/4" button-head).

The top anchor consists of 2 open shuts with mussey hooks attached (an unusual pairing).
