Description
Sit start on the left pocket low on the face. Make a big move up and left to a right-facing, diagonal rail or a small 1/2 pad crimp. Work up feet and make a big move out right to a sloping pinch. From here, work your way to the apex of the boulder using a few crimps and jugs. The crux is low on the route.
I, of course, am not the FA of this route as I am sure it has been done many many times. If you have any info, please reach out, so we can add it here.
