Description

The entire left side of the Butterfly collapsed during the rainy season in 2022(?). All routes marked "RIP" are gone.

Historical description:
Good climbing up a crack.  At the top near a roof, don't continue up the crack, instead break left to another bolt and pull the small roof.  Clip a sling on a very cool, giant root near the top and then mantle on top of it.

Location

At a shared start with Paraket and Kea

Protection

7 bolts, 1 sling
