Description
Start atop the pointed boulder then maneuver carefully onto the inner face. Pulling around the corner is the first crux, at which point easier climbing will lead you to a small ledge. The corner crack is thin, but face holds and glorious stemming will lead to yet another difficult move pulling around the corner. From here, the crack gets wide, and getting into the upper chimney will prove one last challenge.
Chattrad lists the climb as 5.10, but we felt it was a touch harder with several different crux sequences.
