Description

Begins on the first four pitches of Valkarie before traversing left after the first few bolts of that route's pitch five to a left-facing corner that leads to a candy-striped roof. A short traverse out this roof leads to a portion of deteriorating rock just before the offwidth-chimney. A massive tooth of granite hanging from a roof provides the only access to the flared chimney and offwidth system of the upper headwall and may require bear-hugging, knee-barring, and head-scumming. Following the line of least resistance up some very high quality pitches, including a steep hand to finger splitter to the top.

Protection

Standard rack up to #6 camalot. A few belays are bolted. 4 bolts and 6 pins total.
