Description

Do a very similar style start to the nearby climbs with crisp horizontals. After about 5 bolts of climbing, you will arrive to a grainy crux seam. Use the slopey crimps and poor feet to pull through. Don't worry, you can literally hang out on a no hands rest while you figure out the crux. This gets only 2 stars due to the short crux being very out of character with the rest of the climb.

Location

This is the 5th route from the right. Look for the grainy seam up high.

Protection

8 bolts.

[Hide Comment] The rock leading up to the crux is stellar climbing! A thoughtful stemming sequence gets you through the hard bit of pebble pinching. Highly recommend getting on this route. Aug 24, 2023
