Description
Climbs the continuous crack/double crack system through the dead-vertical, sometimes overhanging Geometry Wall
P1 - Climb the left-facing corner to gain the top of the detached pillar feature. bolt anchor. (5.10- 35m) (Climbing the front or the right side of the pillar may be a better start!)
P2 - Climb the crack, clipping a few bolts and skirting left when the crack peters out for a bit. Bolt anchor. (5.10+ 35m)
P3 - Climb the crack still. Bolt anchor. (5.11- 35m)
P4 - Keep climbing the crack. Clip a few bolts through the wild stemming crux, then do the wicked mantle onto the only ledge on the whole wall. Gear anchor. (5.12- 35m)
P5 - You're almost done climbing the crack. Pull the final overhang to the summit. This one is easier. Gear anchor. (5.9 25m)
Descend the obvious north ridge, climber's right.
