Description

Ascend the clean flake by liebacking or groveling to the horizontal break. Plug as much gear as you can find and follow crystals and chickenheads to the summit. Classic.

Protection

A few large cams will protect the flake and a handful of small to medium stoppers or cams will provide enough options at the break. Plan on exposed 5.8 climbing above your last piece.
