Description

Climb an easy broken face for two bolts until the business starts. Make one last piece before finding the combination of decent feet and smell nubs that work for you to top out the vertical part of the wall. The CERCLE guidebook indicates that a key hold broke off and this section may be more difficult than the grade indicates ;)

Continue past one more bolt on mild slabby terrain before arriving at the anchor. 

From here rappel or continue up the long routes. It looked like there was a possible walk off on the right (ramp to install an anchor or bail) - did not confirm.

Location

farthest bolts on the right side of the planeterium. Look for the diagnal above your head and the bolts, of course.

Protection

5 bolts and anchor.
