Description

A great pitch with two very different cruxes. Climb up 6 bolts of fairly difficult, sustained technical climbing (12a or so) to a rest at a huge jug where the line busts right. Climb right up a steep roof with good holds to a hole with a bomber left leg kneebar (pad helpful). make a few more moves to a hard to find right hand 2 finger pocket (crux #2) and pull up and dive headfirst into the next hole before you blow it and have to boink back up. Trend left of the final bolt to the chains. This climb crosses right over 24 M Chrono, so wait until both lines are open to climb.

Location

Main cave of Alabalik, starts directly left of 24 M Chrono, but crosses right over it.

Protection

12 bolts or so, one should be fixed below the roof to help with cleaning.
