Description
Pitch 1 (100 ft): 5.10- This is the crux, and money, pitch. Start up the left corner of a large roof, the rock that cleaved off to form that roof is used to get up to the corner. Climb up the crack system which ends in the crux move off a thin pinch + crimp to a reachy jug. (There is a microwave sized loose block in the middle of this face climb, be careful what you pull) Scramble 15 ft to a little cave up and left from there to setup an anchor.
Pitch 2 (40 ft): 5.9+ Continue up the big crack from the cave into a slabby offwidth, setup anchor above the offwidth where there are good feet.
Pitch 3 (40 ft): 5.9 Climb up around a bulge (slippery foot slab) and continue up the layback crack to a dirty notch with trees right below the summit. Setting up an anchor here will create less rope drag than 5 ft above at the summit.
Descent: walk a few hundred feet downhill and look for a nice strong tree to rappel down. There may be more than one option, getting down can be tricky. We found a 60m rope to be too short to reach the ground in one go, where as a 70m just barely be able to reach.
