Description

Start either directly up the smooth insecure ramp to the high first bolt or traverse in right from the beginning of Highbrow. After passing this bolt, mantel onto the ledge and enjoy the rest before the hard climbing starts. Locate a series of small crimps and bad feet to clip the 2nd bolt and continue up to the overhanging wall. Make several more moves on to the patinaed face to the next bolt. Head right to the large crack and head towards the anchors. Arguably the best route at the crag.
