Description

Star Fish is a great, little route with nice moves. Start on the obvious roof on the center wall. Pull the roof, and traverse slightly right into the broken, thin crack. Move up following the crack and avoiding the easier terrain on the left. The crux is the final move before topping out to the right of the crack.

Location

Start by pulling the roof on the "Center Route."

Protection

The gear is thin! Pulling the roof at the start takes a nice 0.75, then it thins out at you move up. I was able to place a 0.2, 0.3 x4, a #1, a #2 wallnut in the middle, and a nice 0.5 to protect the crux. Building the anchor will also take thin gear.
