Description

A tricky start before the first bolt, then some easier slab to this big flake feature. Lieback/undercling leftward, then step over and finish with one or two easy moves to get to the anchor.

When I climbed this it was still shedding little bits of rock, but it should clean up nice.

Location

5 feet to the left of Sunny-Side Up.

Protection

5 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor with ram's heads.

[Hide Comment] Stick clip necessary for the first bolt. You can also come into this climb from the anchors on Coffee and Cigs. Jan 20, 2022

[Hide Comment] A fun thing to do—and what was the original style—was to skip the anchors and keep climbing to the true summit, where you can lower off of some slings on the Coffee and Cigs anchor. This adds some more knob moves and an easy run out. Mar 2, 2022
