Description

Starts off the 6-7' boulder to a left leaning crack, continue trending left via the path of least resistance up unprotected face/scoops and join the top of the Crow to reach the anchor bolts of the Raven.

If there's another name/ FA info before April 2021 when I climbed it, let me know and I'll add it.

Location

Starts off the big boulder 15-20-feet to the right of the Crow.

Protection

Soloed this one so not 100% sure on pro, but I think there's gear to 3" in the bottom crack and then after joining the Crow getting to the anchor is maybe fingers to 1". Could be more R rated. Standard rack should get you through.
