Description
Climb up an easy wide crack on the left edge of the face to reach a ceiling formed by the boomerang-shaped edge. Climb up and slightly right on the face above the ceiling to an anchor. The crux is getting past the ceiling and is probably height related.
Location
Start directly across the wash from Stick to What on Echo Slab at a face with an obvious boomerang shaped feature. This wall faces the wash and Echo Slab and gets morning sun.
On the left (closest to the parking lot) side of the wall facing Echo Slab, is a distinctive, boomerang shaped edge. The bottom left portion of the boomerang is an easy wide crack, which goes up and right to a ceiling.
