Description

The route starts up the crack/chimney. Getting above the widest part of the crack is the 5.7 crux. If you are average height or less it is harder, and you can go about 6 feet to your right, ascend about 6 feet and go back to your left again. Continue up to a broad bowl shaped depression, then ascend diagonally left to the start of a mini (just a few inches deep) open book. You will want to start up just past the open book, then utilize it and cross it as you ascend to the top. The back side is a walk off.

Location

The route starts on the west side of East Sentinel. If you stand on the saddle between Sentinel and East Sentinel and look east you will see a deep crack/chimney on the wall in front of you. This is the start of the climb.
