Description
This has a few moves that will probably surprise a 5.8 leader but it also has a lot of juggy holds and is fun. The start is loose and dirty, upper half is… also chossy but great.
Hard to say how dangerous this is, at the top the left side column is detached and leaning out, the two columns on the right are hanging but wedged in by each other. Doesn’t feel comfortable even though those rocks are probably not going anywhere.
Building an anchor should be way easier if you bring #4s or #5s; if you only have small gear, there is one option on the plateau for you. After that, it’s easy to top out then head 2 alcoves over (climber’s right) to the bolts on top of Freak of the Week to rappel. Look for the helpful giant cairn.
