Description Suggest change

The grades in the region seemed quite friendly, especially compared to a similar grantic western US crag (e.g. Voo, City of Rocks, JTree). Broadbent's guidebook is recommended for the area.

P1(30 m, 5.9) Scramble up the right side of the detached boulder and clip the first bolt.Technical slab climbing ascends past another bolt before reaching easier slab terrain. Optional small cams may help above the bolts, but it is much easier. Scramble up to a bolted belay below the flake.
P2 (20 m, 5.8) Ride the flake from left to right and belay on a gear anchor after turning the corner. There is ankle breaking potential here without large cams, but the climbing isn't too difficult.
P3 (35 m + 15 m scramble belay move, 5.8) Continue either inside the flank with small gear or on the outside of the flake with a bolt. Ride or chimney the flake before surmounting it at a reasonable location. This is protected by a slightly hard to reach bolt. Continue up to a bolted belay. Move the belay up to the SW corner of the summit block.
P4 (10 m, 5.7) Sport climbing to a cool and totally mandatory hueco hold. Step right, then scramble to the bolted summit anchor.

A single rappel and short juant north lead to the walk off (left) or scramble off (right).

Location Suggest change

In general, aim for a ledge start immediately down and east of the obviuous large flake system on the SE flank. Scramble up until reaching a pinnacle. Look right/north to see another small fin/ramp leading to bolts. This is the start.
