Technical and pumpy five bolt route following obvious features up the 30 foot face. Looks a hell of a lot easier than it is.

Center of the west face and the first obvious line you see as you walk into the Cemetery area.

Thin technical face moves down low to a long reach/dyno for a sidepull at the 3rd bolt and another long reach/dyno at the 4th bolt for a jug to an easy mantle move below the anchors. Technical, tricky and stout for the grade, this one packs a lot of climbing into a short package. This is one of those routes that could feel easier if tall. Jan 11, 2010

I didn't feel the need for any dynos, but the climb did require some intense footwork - very enjoyable once you can figure out the moves. The lower part will make your fingers hurt! I'm only 5'8", so your beta may differ from mine... Sep 12, 2011
