Description
Pitch 1: Start up a decent crack system that quickly ends and puts you onto juggy face moves. Climb past a series of horizontal cracks. A thin cruxy series of moves makes for a good finish up to the 2-bolt anchor.(5.8 PG13; 90-foot rappel)
Pitch 2: From the bolt anchor, traverse right on a vertical face, bop over a small overhang, then climb straight up a steep headwall to the top. (5.8 PG13)
