Description
Make easy moves to the first bolt (drilled angle) about 20 feet up and then wander up the narrow, low-angled rib above passing three more bolts. It's a little ways from the last bolt to the anchor but the angle kicks back and it gets easier.
- A direct start McRib (5.9) can be done up the front of the rib and can even be lead by pre-clipping the first bolt.
Protection
4 bolts, 2 bolt ring anchor
- Two bolt anchor for the belay but it's best to rap off the anchors just to the left on McStain.
