Description

High step into a scoop with slanting/smearing foot placements. Walk your feet higher and left as you layback a rounded protrusion to pull yourself (up and left) toward the outside corner. Slopers and crimpers are your only balance options at this point. Reach out left to an awkward/big pinch on a vertical-rail feature. Work your feet higher so you can reach the juggier top of this same feature (crux). Match your hands and pull this hold carefully - it flexes! Move your feet up to the slabby and much easier, upper section of the route.

Location

This ascends the heavily-featured, slabby face to the (climber's) left of the Six Pack roof. Look for the lower scoop toward the outside corner.

Protection

A toprope.
