Description

Just left of the huge corner. Climb 60 feet of continuously engaging and technical climbing to a ledge where there are mussys if you want to bail there (at 11A) or do a hard crimpy boulder problem on chert crimps to the second anchor at 80 feet. Really fun if you like technical limestone routes.

Protection

Lots of (12?) stainless bolts to mussys.

This route was bolted solely for the purpose of allowing for the first ascent, and the first ascent information is posted here solely to document the history of the first ascent. No person should read this posting with the assumption that this route or the fixed gear left behind is safe in any way or otherwise appropriate to allow for safe subsequent ascents. Climbing is dangerous and should only be done with the appropriate training and risk management practices that include providing for the climberÂ’s own safety. Attempting to climb this route as described above or by any other means or methods could result in injury or death.
