Description
Start in the right-facing wide dihedral. Pull an offwidth move down low (crux) then continue through a varying crack with frequent face holds. Be mindful of some hollow flakes on the right. Enter an easy chimney, skip a belay ledge on the left, and belay at a good stance against the corner at 135' using fingers-sized gear.
The second pitch has a move of 5.7, then is mostly fourth-class to the chain anchor at the base of Sancho Rama.
Continue up the sport route and/or rap twice with a 60m to reach the ground.
