Description

The crux is the 15 feet above the first big ledge, but it's not much of a crux. The route is sustained 5.7-5.8.

Location

When walking along the western base of the dome, climb over the 3 ft high boulder blocking the path. The route starts just above the boulder. Look for the first bolt about 10 feet up and just below the ledge.

Protection

6 bolts to the anchor chains.
