Description
"With five free parameters, a theorist could fit the profile of an elephant." - George Gamow
On a wall with many apparently wandering lines, this takes a surprisingly direct line to the top - you don't actually need five free parameters here!
To the right of the central dihedral/chimney is a vaguely defined buttress featuring golden rock. At the right hand edge of this buttress a shallow dihedral heads up and slightly left. Belay at the top of this easy pitch.
The next pitch goes up a steeper left-facing dihedral, and up to the next big ledge system.
The third pitch continues up.
