Description
A tremendouse gear route on an unlikely face that climbs like a steep, sport climb.
Climb the first 10' of the often wet corner ("Buffalo Bob") placing a key 3" piece. Traverse right about 8 feet when large incuts appear. Gain a nice foot ledge, and rest.
Continue up the face, passing a pin in a crack that breaks a steep bulge (crux--reachy). Move quickly up to a welcomed stance, trend left then back right, and finish up steep rock to a set of drop-ins.
