Description Suggest change

This climb is on the steep wall between Ballet and Howard's Horror. Start as for Howard's Horror (Regular Route, which is the left start; 5.7) then climb straight up past a horizontal crack to a second horizontal crack. Load it up with pro, then continue up the right-slanting dike over a bulge (crux), then up the steep face past 2 bolts (upgraded from 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch in 2021) to a crack system that leads to the top.

Protection Suggest change

2 bolts (1/2-inch stainless steel), thin to 3-inch gear.
