Description

Peleliu is an island East of the Philippines which was the site of a furious battle during World War II.

Large pockets lead to a horizontal break below an intimidating bulge. Head straight up the middle on sidepulls until you reach better holds that lead right, towards less steep terrain. Pinch and lie-back up the prominent, left-facing fins to the chains.

Location

This is left of Left El Sapper. Look for a light grey streak with a long, left-facing fin.

Protection

Bolts and a standard two bolt anchor.
