Description
Climb the face and a small, right-facing flake to reach the right corner of the small roof. Carefully clip the 3rd bolt from a stance just to the right of the arete at the corner of the roof. Step up and back left onto the face and follow the bolt line, until reaching the 6th bolt on the Dark Horse. From there, climb up and join the crack system and work your way back right to clip the chains. An alternative, climbs up and right, following the finish of the Dark Horse.
Location
The climb starts on the face just left of the arete that is about 15 feet right of Dark Horse.
Protection
8 bolts with a 2-bolt anchor with chains and steel carabiners with captive pins (shared with Dark Horse).
