Description

This is the leftmost route on the Main Face. Start up the diorite band on bolts. After clipping the 4th bolt, step out left to mount a horizontal crack through a roof (3" cam recommended). Continue up and RIGHTWARD through obvious weaknesses. A second crux climbs by a bolt through another roof before finishing up a finger crack to the 2-bolt anchor (this shares an anchor with Chips and Salsa).

Protection

Some bolts with lots of gear placements as well. It is slightly meandering but quite a journey. This is a long pitch.... A 70 meter rope is required to lower off.
