Description
This takes the main weakness up the middle of the lower wall to a walkoff option on the left and instead stays just right of the obvious, deep, and easy looking corner following fun, wandering blocks and cracks. The last traverse is a bit runout (PG-13) and is the crux, but you can get decent gear in (Metolius 8, or maybe a BD #3 or 4), though it will be well below you. Build an anchor in the easy 5th Class terrain or do what we did and sling one of the massive blocks above, and belay your 2nd up, then walk off.
Expect small amounts of loose rock and some holds to brush off with your hands depending where exactly you climb, as this is not well traveled but is mostly clean.
We used a 70m rope and DID NOT RAP.
