Description Suggest change

An underrated route with good climbing on every pitch that you’ll likely have to yourself. Every belay is at a ledge, several HUGE. The route staircases left. Technical crux is a thin Lieback on pitch 2 or a crack switch to start the 3rd pitch depending on your finger size. Fourth pitch has about 15 feet of 10a protected by a bolt at the bottom, and small cams above, negating the original R rating. Tops out with some standard 5.7R slab with a couple cam placements on either variation(directly up or right across small ledges and then up).

Location Suggest change

Starts in some water groove cracks that lead to an obvious 5.9 wide hands bulge. After the last pitch head up and right(east) and then back left at the top on 4th class to descend west down ledges back to the road. 

Protection Suggest change

.2 to 3 inches. Black totems are handy and a 4in piece wouldn’t go unused on the 2nd half of the crux pitch. Belay at top pitch 3 is a bolted anchor.
