Description

Start up a small crack to a ledge below an orange face. Make a few moves up a block to clip the high first bolt and then make an awkward mantle move to reach the 2nd bolt. Delicately make your way up the white/orange face below an overhang encountering a slab crux along the way. After hanging a draw on the chain in the steep section, enter some crumbly rock before the chains.

Location

As the approach trail meets the cliff line, there is a concave white/orange face with steeper section up top. There are 3 routes on this face with this being the left most line, there is a chain

Protection

8 bolts + chains. Could probably use another lower bolt or bring a small piece or two to protect the start. Alternatively, climb up to the first ledge and then stick clip first bolt.
