Description

The featured face just to the left of some left-facing corners. The middle ledge "wobbles" a bit, and I would keep the giant flakes (i.e., left facing corners) off route, since the rock seems a bit suspect. Some high steps required on thin edges that have spray paint, which makes the route climb a grade or two harder.

Location

It is on the far left side of F Wall, past the huge upper slab. The "long face" is just to the left of some left-facing corners.

Protection

A toprope with natural anchor is recommended (two thin cracks on prow-shaped, low boulder). This can go on lead, but the first gear placement is about 25+' off the deck, and some of the rock is suspect. This climb looks like it will eat up gear, but it doesn't offer that much protection.
