Description

Climb straight up to where your rope meets the edge near the top to avoid swinging and possibly tearing into your rope or even cutting your rope! The crux is about 3/4 up on a small ledge near the right side of the face . It’s a long reach to a huge grab.  2nd crux is getting over the edge about 10 ft from the top.

Location

At the top of point dume your tying off of the only rock you potential can, you can’t miss it.  It’s the farthest most point from the directly opposing main wall anchors. The east most south facing wall.

Protection

For this route you must tie off of a boulder at the top. There is one place to tie off. . I’d recommend bringing a mat for where the rope drags over the edge. I use two 30ft pieces of 8mm cord.
