Description

Start up a left facing corner clipping bolts on the left of the arête. A few clips higher, make a short and easy traverse to the other side of the arête to the base of a right leaning finger crack. Blast up the crack taking rests where you can until you reach the crux right before the anchors but you get good feet and hands to rest on while you contemplate.

Location

Obvious arête 15 feet to the left of the large open corner. You can clearly see the finger crack from the bottom.

Protection

~11 bolts + anchor
