Description

P-1 Climb to the perusal ledge/ramp.

P-2 Climb to a chossy ledge then over small roof to a left facing corner. Climb the corner then continue up to a large bucket hold and a bolt. Continue up a funky face past a possible nut (out right), and move up and left, continuing up more funky and hard to protect face climbing. Belay on the nice ledge.

P-3 Continue to top or rap.
