Description
A fun and varied journey through the improbable-looking face above the left-end cave. Climb the start of vultures and break right after the crux. Make tricky moves past two pitons and plug some gear in an arching overlap. The third pin is sticking out a bit, so girth hitch a sling in between the eyehole and the rock, then make moves into the crack to the right. 2 options- I chose the low road, stepping down and using crimps. My partner went high, making a big move straight up to positive holds, then back right. Live your truth.
Climb the short crack until it peters out, where you will encounter some steep, but mostly positive face climbing. The anchor for Totally Savage will be about 5 feet to your right at this point and you'll encounter a pin and some small gear. Wander up until you reach a thin crack in a beautiful patina face and take this above the canopy to the top.
