Description
P1: Climb up a slab with a small overlap for about 60 feet into the trees at the foot of the arête. Move left toward the arête looking for a bolt. Stand on your tip toes and clip the bolt. (FA must have been really tall.) Climb down and swing around the arête riding it like a bucking bronco. Work up the arête to an overlap (frequently wet and mossy) and scrunch up and traverse right under the overlap. Climb a slab above you with one bolt to the anchors on the right. Be careful of rope drag as this is a circuitous route and a full rope length.
P2: Seldom done. Not worth doing.
Descent: Rap the route with two ropes to ground or with one rope to the treed corner where there is/was a sling and rap rings.
