Description

Start on the right-facing ramp/corner about 30 feet right of Thumb Press and 30 feet left of Crown of Thorns. Climb up the ramp/corner to a big ledge about 20 feet up. Continue up following the line of least resistance along blocks, ledges, and corners, until you reach a ledge about 10 feet from the top. Traverse right along this ledge for a few feet and then climb up a crack and through the notch. You will top out a couple feet to climber's left of the bolts.

Location

The top of the route is about 2 feet to climber's left of the bolt. You can walk down from the top.

Protection

Anchor to boulders on top using a long static line, and drop your anchor rope over the edge to avoid rope drag. Use the bolts as a backup and to redirect your rope through the notch a couple feet to climber's left of the bolts. This notch is where you'll top out from the climb.
