Description

Squint Skyward and Listen climbs great rock over a great landing.

Stand start with hands matched on the pinch-edges. From there, reach a right hand smiley edge-pinch, reach a left hand next to it on a two-finger pocket, gain the left hand edge at the lip, follow through a pair of sloper bumps to reach a right hand pinch-edge up high on the slab, mantle with the left hand on the lip edge, commit to the better edge with the right, finish up the remaining slab.

Location

It climbs the center of Aegis' west face.

Protection

At least a pair of pads. The landing is very good though.
