Description

P1: Follow crack system passing a wedged .50 Cal bullet near the top to the obvious ledge almost at the end of a 60m rope. Sling boulders and build anchor (5.7). P2: Scramble over boulders and enter left draining gulley, scramble up gulley to its top where the second pitch climbing begins with a short lie-back crack. Then step across the void to gain a face splitting crack which ends in 3rd class boulders sling-able for an anchor (5.8).
