Description

Sit start on sharp, right-leaning arête with your right hand on a low, orange open handed hold, and your left hand low on the arête, with a small left foot hold and a right toe hook. Slap your left hand up the arête, and throw to the blocky jug ¾’s of the way up the arête. Ride the arête to the end, and top out. Technical and powerful. (stand start from the blocky jug is V2)

Protection

A few pads and a spotter or two. Watch the small boulder on the right when topping out. Set up the pads carefully so you don't dab.
