Description
From the belay tree mentioned in Archetype, traverse up and left 25' to sling the small tree. From that tree, move up and right back to the first roof. Pop over the roof and up to the next roof under which you traverse left until you can climb through the notch. Of the handful of 5.10s at The Narrows here, this one gets the nod for being the most lead-friendly. There are great moves with good gear on quality rock. Be prepared to handle the initial (easy) traverse off the belay with care - the three-star stuff begins after you sling the tree. -Indy's Online Guide
