Description

Leftmost route on the wall. Face start up past a bolt, then diagonal up a right-leaning crack that peters out just before the top for a slabby finish. Variation start right of the yucca and up the left side of the giant bottom chockstone boulder (felt a tad harder than the finish but could be easier for the very tall).

Location

Rap.

Protection

Pro to 3", anchor at bolted rap rings.
