Description
Cool sharp arete and crack climbing. 1st pitch is money then it peters out a bit for three more short pitches with bolted anchors.
Start on the right side of the arete in a crack system up to a bolt close to arete, clip and turn the arete to the left, pass three more bolts to a belay/rap station. Three more short pitches go to the top.
There's also a "direct" but it climbs a separate crack system in the center of the face to a single bolt above the first bolted belay and then turns the corner left from there, only sharing climbing with "Light Bender" after that point. 11a at that bolt but 5.9 up to there.
