Description

Start up Power Bait for three bolts (use a long sling on the 3rd bolt) and then move up and right onto the bulging face and climb increasingly difficult moves to a fingery crux encounter near the top as you decide how to use a key knob for progress.

Intricate movement on good rock that's probably best done in cooler weather lest it feel more difficult.

Location

On the bulging face up and right from Power Bait with a shared start with that route.

Protection

6 bolts, sport anchors
