Description

Fun climbing through blocks at the start to a lieback flake. Upper ledges can be sandy, especially the finishing ledge with the anchors. Currently shares the anchor with the climb to he right so both routes can be climbed off of one rope with a directional.

Protection

QDs. 6 SS glue-in bolts. SS chain anchor with perma-carabiners.
