Description
Stunning looking line when viewed from the road. This bold, but safe, lead should be ticked by every hard needler. Follow the hand size flakes, on the E aspect of the spire, to a left leaning fracture with a pin. Take the large horizontal back right to a hanging flake and clip the first bolt. Rest and build up the courage to punch it for the next bolt, 25' up. Hardware was replaced by BHCC a few years ago.
Location
Start on left facing flake on the E face. Single 60m rap.
Protection
Single rack to BD #3 or #4
2 bolts
1 pin
Chain anchors
