Description
An amazing 2 pitch route just 100 meters left of Joy After Pain. First pitch climbs up a narrow slot with a chock stone guarding the exit (sometimes very thin and possibly mixed). The second pitch climbs an ever steepening pillar with some cool rests and exposure. There is a 3rd pitch that forms up the gully. We didn't climb it but a friend said it was 4+ and worthwhile.
Location
100 m left of Joy After Pain on the Lower Bench area.
Protection
Screws. Maybe rock gear for the first pitch if it is thin.
