Description

Start up good holds to a cool runnel/crack/pinch feature and carefully place a 2" cam. Somewhat tenuous layback moves lead to a bolt and even more tenuous laybacking. At the horizontal, place some thin gear and do a few more pumpy moves up and right to another bolt. Keep the pump in check as the holds get better and the feet get worse. As you approach the top, look for an exit up and right onto the easy slab. Scramble up to the top and reach down to clip the double-bolt anchor.

Protection

2 x 2" cams, yellow TCU or equivalent, purple TCU or equivalent. The gear on this pitch is not obvious, challenging to place, and somewhat spaced. It's not dangerous but kind of heads up.
