Description
A relatively newer route, Jay Smith continues to deliver!
P1, 5.11: Tips lock/layback in a R facing corner to good fingers, then a ledge rest. Continue up the corner system to pop out atop the leaning pillar that forms the "cave" for the start and a 2 bolt belay.
P2, 5.11-: Follow the line of bolts off the left side of the pillar (and a few cams) for 30 feet to a large ledge, you can belay here at a single bolt + gear, or a fairly straightforward link into P3.
P3, 5.11+: Launch into the gorgeous, splitter R facing corner above, pulling a few small rooflets and ending at a 2 bolt belay.
We rapped from here per the guidebook recommendation of deteriorating quality. A 70m doesn't quite reach from the top of P3 to the pillar, could extend with slings or a short rap off the single biner belay is easy, then an easy 30m rappel down the first pitch.
Experience from continuing higher would be welcome!
