Description

An enjoyable leftward traverse up the east face of Big Rock. Follow the obvious ramp that starts left of Northern Aggression. Follow the bolts up and to a belay station. Good holds are featured along the way including solid insets and chicken heads. At the belay anchor, continue around the corner and up to a small chimney and continue up and over with some scambling to the summit.

Location

Begins lower right of east face and moves up and left traversing to the south.

Protection

Some bolts are present to protect the slab sections but there is good protection as you follow the ramps towards the left and up two sets of ledges, and also right before you step around a corner towards the belay station.
