Description

If you want a more continuous challenge, start anywhere on the right-facing corner/ramp down and right from the quartz vein and climb up to the detached layback flake just right of the quartz vein. Haul yourself up that until you join the quartz vein, and finish on Thumb Press.

Location

Just right of Thumb Press

Protection

Trees @ top for anchor. This entire wall can go, though sometimes tricky and a tad ran out, on gear.
