Description
Start just left of the center of the face near two small pockets at head height. Using the pockets pull up to a small ledge. Work to a prominent vertical crack, then step left into a crack leading into a pod (shallow cave). Stem up the pod and exit to the right into a long, fun crack that widens as you go up. At the end of the wide crack follow discontinuous cracks to the top.
Descent - Two choices: (1) You can do 1 double rope rappel from Blueberry Lizards. (2) Two single line rappels: Locate 2 bolt anchor with leaver-biners just south of the Throatchoker top-out. Rappel ~40' to the the anchor for Centipede Corner then rappel Centipede Corner (A 60m rope is just long enough with rope stretch to get down. If you come up short you can swing to the right a bit and then scramble down).
