Similar to the the other routes in the area - slab climbing with bolts and a piece of gear here or there.  

P1 Slab, edge and smear past a couple of bolts maybe a piece or gear to anchors. 85 feet.

P2 Repeat a bit of the same - one bolt and some gear to anchors. 75 feet.

P1 and P2 can be combined.

We rapped from the top of p3 with a single rope then rapped from the top of p2 to the ground with two ropes.

[Hide Comment] Second pitch is kind of rough. There's a crack about four feet above the belay that fits a .75 and a #1 Camelot, and after that you've got 20 feet to the next bolt. I went right of the flake below the first bolt on P2 and chickened out. Going left is for sure the 5.6 line, and any deviation means harder than planned for moves above a monster run out, a huge fall on some not so great gear, and if that gear blows, a factor 2 fall on the belay. Fun when done right, not great if done wrong. Oct 12, 2021
