Description
Dicey moves off the deck to the first bolt. Then consistent, easier climbing straight up for 3 pitches to the big ledge. Last pitch straight up the vertical headwall.
The lower 3 pitches have bolts in just the right spots, but some might consider it a little runout. Bolts on the 10a section are placed closer together.
Pitch 1 is about 140', has rap anchors.
Pitch 2 is about 140', anchors are not set up for rappel.
Pitch 3 is about 115, one bolt has quick link.
No anchor on pitch 4, sling a boulder.
After pitch 3 you reach the big ledge. You can probably finish on Fresno Flats from here if you want to avoid the headwall.
