[Hide Comment] There is a new sport line to the left that, following the first three bolts, allows you to skip the briar patch and go straight into that sweet sweet crack. Highly recommended! Apr 25, 2021

[Hide Comment] There are bolts on the face left of the splitter crack above the ledge. The first 3 bolts are chill slab climbing. The large ledge between the 3rd and 4th bolts may claim some broken legs if a fall was taken while clipping 5th bolt. The 5th bolt is near some pretty insecure holds, defining the crux. There may be some better holds above the 5th bolt, making the clip about waist/thigh height at the time. Don't blow it or you'll end up on the ledge below. My partner and I think the route is likely 5.10b or harder, not 5.9 like the trad route which uses the crack. Sep 12, 2021
