Description
Start on top of a block and follow the incut ramp up to a stance where a bolt can be clipped. Use the twin cracks and up some slab moves to a small hotizontal. Clip a bolt out left and trend left, either using the large knob or the face to it's left. Protect the large horizontal and follow a jagged crack up the face and around the bulge to a flake. Clip a piton and top out to a set of anchors up top.
