Description

Low angle face climbing at it's best. You will find yourself teetering on subtle slopers, working underclings to make perplexing reaches, and shaking out your calves more than your arms.

Scramble onto a ledge and on top of a rotten block. Make a big move over a roof to a horizontal rail. Once established on the slab, traverse slightly right into the crux on crimps, slopers, and thoughtful spans. Slightly better sloper rails continue to appear until mid-heigh where the holds improve. Once past a hueco, move right to the arete and enjoy 5.9 climbing to the chains.

Location

On the left side of a large scoop. Left of Junior's Gesture.

Protection

Bolts and a two bolt anchor.

Bring a long stick clip for the first bolt.
