Description

Moderate climbing to the first intermediate anchor (~15m). Trend slightly left at the second bolt after this anchor. After the steep crux, step right around the arete and climb tricky slab moves to the top. A 70m rope (ties knots!) can lower the leader from the top to the first anchor or to the Gabagool ledge. An additional anchor has been added before the slab finish to facilitate low-shenanigans cragging with a 70m rope.

Location

It is directly in front of the approach trail as you enter the talus field.

Protection

18 bolts + 2 QDs if you want to extend mid-route anchors.
