Description

This is a stellar adventure and though it might not seem perfect as you start up on slightly Crumbly rock... It Gets Better! Stick Clip the first bolt. Climb bouldery terrain heading toward that sweet corner crack. layback and jam and make a funky move to get up onto the slab. Continue up the slab jamming. Break up through a groove and embark on 3 bolts of thought provoking friction. The crux has proven to be the last couple of moves of pure friction. 

The rollercoaster of emotions will all be worth it when you look out from the anchor at the breathtaking view. An amazing place to be climbing. 

Location

Between the monster flake and what I call the wall of corners, look for a left facing corner about 15 feet off the ground. That's the spot. 

Protection

4(?) bolts, trad gear, to ring anchors
