Description

Start on the big rock just outside of the wide chimney. Step across and into the chimney climbing up the left face, and staying close to the arête. Look for gear in small horizontals. Clip the bolt and stem between the two walls until it’s possible to place another small cam in a horizontal on the arête. Once you have good gear, make the cruxy committing move to get from a wide stem between the two walls in the chimney to fully established on the left slabby headwall. From here it’s not quite over, continue up the exciting and slabby arête past one more gear placement to the top.
