Description

Begin just left of 'The Gutter' bouldering traverse. Ascend the red slab and belay underneath the massive roof. Pick a line through the enormous, imposing overhang, aiming for the wide crack with a big wobbly chockstone. Struggle through the crack to emerge on the slab above. 3 more easy pitches to the top. Guaranteed adventure.

Protection

Standard Flatiron rack up to #3 Camalot. Skyhooks and long slings useful.
