Description
Climb featured, nearly vertical rock before transitioning onto a low angle, right leaning ramp. Mindfully select edges while progressing up the ramp until it tapers. Engage the slightly overhung featured face, including a wild fin, to reach the chains.
Shoulder length slings are recommended at the first bolt on the route, the first bolt on the ramp, and possibly the first bolt on the overhang.
Personally I have always found this route to be slightly harder than the listed grade of 5.8.
