Description
I guess to build a skyscraper you have to have a solid foundation. Skyscraper is all about the start.
The fun begins with an off-balance and hard-to-reach clip. This height-dependent crux involves a long reach and delicate balance to work into a stem. Key holds allow the climber to work up while continuing to stem, to reach the second bolt and a large flake on the left.
Tenuous moves gain the wall above, where more straightforward climbing leads to the anchor, shared with Bearish.
Rappel to descend.
