Description

Climb up into the obvious curving off-width. Just when you are wondering how the heck this is 5.9 reach back over your shoulder and grab a jug on top of the arete. Pull through to easier holds and regroup before pulling the jugs through a buldge and finishing on the 6" OW up top (you can climb face holds past this top OW).

Location

The obvious curving OW on the right side of the wall before you go around the corner.

Protection

fingers to 6 inches
