Description
Look for the step in the roof where it drops in height. That is the feature you are aiming for. The climb starts a bit to the right of there and the first part trends up and left past some cracks to gain a nice ledge. From the ledge, head straight up a beautiful crack to the roof/block. Step right and layback the corner to the higher roof then traverse back left onto the face. Climb up to a horizontal crack and traverse right about 3m. From here easy climbing leads to the top.
This route features beautiful climbing but rope drag can be a serious issue. I do not recommend this route to new 5.10 trad leaders. Be sure to extend your gear with alpine draws and possibly even a 120cm sling or two depending on where you place gear.
