Description

Great technical climb on an obvious line that is just as good now as it was 50 years ago went it went up.

Difficult beginning with a few condensed moves. Get ready for either a dyno or a lengthly lock off to a decent hold in the middle of the route. Find hands on a small crimp, get high feet and pull hard on a crimpy sidepull to finish the rest of the route. Last ten feet are 5.easy
