Description

Pull on (squeeze) at the base of the large shelf (from the stack of rocks), and traverse up and left on a nice, steep pipe of stone. Clear the bulge, and follow the remaining bolts up the grey/green blunt arête to the top on good but well-camouflaged edges. Mantel at the top to find the anchors. You may want to bring a Reverso/ATC to rap and save some wear on your rope.
