Description Suggest change

A new extension has been added to this late 1990s route.  This climb has been thoroughly scrubbed, rusty bolts have been replaced, and it's ready for the North Side season.  

Easy climbing on good holds over a small hollow flake with okay gear gets you up to the first bolt.  Pull over a small roof up to the 3rd bolt where you traverse low to the base of a small left facing corner.  Clipping the 4th bolt is delicate. Laybacking up the corner past another bolt to a slanting finger crack is the crux. This is where the original route moved up and right onto the rounded face above. Instead, make a big move (2nd crux) left to a great undercling then up on amazing holds into the bigger left facing corner which takes great gear and is fairly sustained up to a horizontal and stance out right at the end of the corner.  Continue up the vertical face past amazing holds and a 00 cam to the anchor.
