Description
Far left side of Crack of Noon buttress. Start in an obvious steep awesome looking dihedral corner. Clip bolts through the beginning and gradually steepening dihedral. For 2-3 bolts it is game-on with hard desperate moves. The rock is super clean. Eventually you clip a bolt and the crux is over leading to a nice 10b-ish crack finish protected by small cams and stoppers. Easy fun finish on natural gear.
Location
Left of Crack of Noon on the same buttress.
Protection
Mostly Bolts with a couple small cams on the top easier part. First part of route is all bolted through the crux. 2-4 pieces of natural gear to finish on the 10b section at the top (small cams .0 - .5).
