Description

Start in a shallow corner with good jugs and quickly gain the first of a series of small roofs which require some thought to overcome. A couple bolts and pitons protect the more serious moves while a good assortment of gear protects the rest.

This route looks a lot meaner than it is from the ground. It's all there. This route was put in ground up with bolts drilled by hand. Hooks were used while drilling the bolts.


A direct start was done to the left of the original start.
Direct; Start approximately 5ft left of the short pillar and climb a vertical wall of crimps and edges past 3 bolts to a good ledge. Follow the original line to the top. 3 bolts, 5.11c. 

Location

Start on the left side of a small pillar just left of Hans and Frans.

Protection

Cams to 3". Nuts, 1 set.
