Description
This route might be intimidating to a new leader. The top portion looks unprotectable from the ground, but there are some good placements the entire way.
Don't be swooned into the dirty chimney to the right! Climb the face just right of the arete! That's where the 3 stars are. The chimney is terrible.
Descent: Walk off left.
Location
All the way lookers left on Fish Face. Just left of a bolt line (After Dance 5.8).
Protection
Mostly small cams and nuts, up to BD #1. Two bolt anchor (no chains or rings) over the lip at the top (can be accessed from above to setup/clean). Bring cordelette.
[Hide Photo] Route follows crystal vein and face just right of arete. Photo credit - derek.
