Description
This is an 8-bolt climb at the bottom right of the west face, crossing West Face Right at its first bolt then continuing straight up the water-scooped green slab above where West Face Right moves left around the arete. The two climbs share an anchor.
Mantel up over a small roof, then climb a deceptively tricky face to round the arete. Stand up into West Face Right, then bust a thin-face crux on slopers and pebbles. The difficulty eases above, but the climbing remains fun and engaging on perfect rock. You could also link the start into West Face Right for a 5.12a (long draws on bolts four and five for drag) or do the trad start of West Face Right into the upper part of this climb at around 11c (bring a Metolius No. 3 TCU and a No. 1 Camalot).
Thanks to OSMP, the FCC, and the FHRC for making new-routing possible in the Flatirons.
