Description
To climb this .12a -ish route, start on dirty ledges (however, and amazingly, they are cleaning up nicely). After the first bolt, head into a corner/dihedral and use holds that look like they shouldn't be attached, yet they are still there (even after lots of hammer whacking during the cleaning process. If you have ever bolted in AF, you know what I'm talking about. If not, you should try. There is plenty of rock up there to bolt). After about 40 ft of adventure climbing, mantel up on a ledge, have a picnic, rest, then stand up and clip the bolt above the roof. From here, stretch, stretch, stretch to find the few small holds that will help you get to some jugs. Once above the roof, continue up lots better rock to the chains. I won't give it away but it might be wise to climb a little right of one of the upper bolts then head back left. going straight up or even left will make the grade a lot more difficult.
