Description

Start a little left of the first bolt. Clip first bolt from left-facing sidepull. Climb up and a little right through one jug and on to the face which is slabby, so just trust your feet. The feet are pretty decent, some get small. The crux for me was clipping and climbing past the fourth bolt. Use small crimps and dishes to climb up to a visible, left-sloping ledge. If you can clip the fourth bolt from below this ledge, do it. If not, climb a little past the ledge using crimps on and around the ledge to get a good, right-facing sidepull, and clip from here. Then make your way onto this ledge using a high, left hand, pocket-type pinch thing. The pocket is not good until you push with your left leg, then you can reach a right-facing, jug sidepull out to the right past the ledge. The rest of the climb is smooth sailing.
