Description

This route starts in an obvious dihedral. Just left of the dihedral is a large block that is detached from the base of the cliff. Make an awkward move up into the dihedral. At the top of the dihedral keep following the crack over an overhanging bulge. A bolt is placed right before this move as no good placements here. Continue stemming up the crack and over the next bulge. Once on the ledge above, a bolt anchor is just above you to the right. Rappel with one rope.

Location

From the base of the downclimb on the approach, follow the narrow, unstable path up-canyon roughly 200 yards. This path remains well above the base of the canyon, generally hugging the right wall. This route starts in an obvious dihedral. Just left of the dihedral is a large block that is detached from the base of the cliff.
