Description
This climb starts out with a bang. It would be three stars if the climbing didn't degrade after the crux.
P1: Traverse out a ledge and start cranking. Sequential finger jamming and sidepulls lead to a powerful bulge. Continue up easy 5.9 rock to a stance below the squeeze chimney.
P2: Climb the 5.8 squeeze on the left or the 5.9 dihedral on the right. This pitch ends on the summit ridge, which has a 3rd class descent to the walk off.
