Description
A long and varied pitch. Excellent from start to finish. It is pretty well clean right now. I hope it eventually sees enough traffic to keep it that way. I know I will be taking a lap on it every time I am in the area.
Start up a cool balancy slab arete (2 bolts) that is much more challenging than it looks. Regroup on a good stance then launch into the crux slab/low angle face section (2 more bolts). From here to the top is just fun and no harder than 5.9. Friction past another bolt. Switch to trad mode for a spell as you move left and up a splitter layback slab corner. Make a fun mantle (bolts and gear) onto a ledge and puzzle out one more sequence (last bolt) to a finish jug/ledge and take in the view.
There are 7 bolts and 5 or 6 options for gear placement. Some seem more mandatory than others. If you are solid in the grade you won't need many. If you are breaking into 5.11 trad this is a well protected option but a few doubles will assure you have what you need when you need it.
