Description Suggest change

Start in the shallow right facing corner just below a foreboding chimney/pod. Climb straight up on cracks and in-cut edges. Undercling and traverse left at small lip/roof left of the chimney/pod. Continue up in the left facing dihedral. There are a couple of (crux) thin sections and there is no need to do any fist jamming. It is possible to finish via a flake going out to the left or go straight up and then do a traverse (directional helpful) to the bolted anchor.

Overall this is a really fun route for the grade, with good pro and nice position. Watch for loose rock, especially when traversing to the belay/rap on top.

Location Suggest change

Approach via the trail at the lower base of the First Cliff until you reach the far right side (still before the Right Tower). Look for a short, fat chimney/pod in the upper section of the cliff. The route starts in a shallow right facing corner just below the left hand plumb line of the chimney/pod.

Protection Suggest change

Double cams to 2" - Lewis/Moynier suggest to 3.5" but we did not use anything larger than a #2 Camalot. If anything, bring more small gear (up to a .75 Camalot). Bolted anchor with links out the left at the top. We rapped with two ropes, a single 70m might be tight (knot ends).
