Description

Clip the first bolt, lock off, and make a long reach to a slopey hold. Make your way up under the roof with a challenging mantel. Traverse out the roof, and cut your feet loose to get them on the arete at the lip of the roof. Layback and squeeze your way up delicate and powerful climbing to get to more positive holds above the bulge to get to the anchors.

Location

This is the second climb from the left and one of the first ones you will see as you approach the crag from the trail in.

Protection

I got lucky and I didn't see them, but as it warmed up, there is a nest of wasps in the crack just right of the first bolt. Apr 15, 2018
