Description

Start climbing up just left of Corrugation Corner (or climb Corrugation Corner) and traverse left to a big horn wrapped with slings. Nuzzle yourself behind the horn to belay.

Begin climbing up a thin face with an even thinner crack to some gear and a bolt. Follow the bolts traversing right under a wildly overhanging roof. Big pumpy moves end at a despirate finish rounding the roof to a two bolt anchor. Lower off out in space and back to the horn belay so your belayer can have a go.

Location

Directly left of the first belay of Corrugation corner behind a gigantic detached horn.

Protection

Green alien and some draws.
