Description

Begin under a short, blocky roof. Climb up a continuous crack system arching up and left. The entire route is slightly overhung with excellent tool torques with terrible feet. Follow the crack system to a another short roof and thin seam to top out.

This route will challenge your technique and footwork on a short, but steep and unrelenting pitch.

Location

Located between POS and the Jaws Wall. Look for the obvious blocky roof start and the continuous arching crack. See photos for reference.

Protection

Single Rack to 3. Doubles in finger sizes. One fixed pin half way up. Anchor bolts to come. Can top out and down climb a mossy corner.
