Description

Begin 10 feet right of Birthstone at some juggy, lichenous flakes. Climb up the path of least resistance, using both the orange rock on the left and the slabby, green-ish rock to the right. After 4 or 5 bolts, the line weaves straight up darker rock that overhangs most of the way. Pass a midway anchor (for lowering with a 70m rope) at about 30 meters, then face the steep and tricky headwall. Fire through this, and clip the anchor out right.

*A helmet is strongly advised for the belayer, in particular, as little crumbs and flakes will surely clean up with more ascents.

Lower twice with a 70-meter rope. An 80-meter rope will JUST reach the ground. Please knot the end!
