Description
Classic gorge thuggery. Foster care starts right of Carpe Freeum below a bolt. Work slightly left from the bolt, then ease back right to plug some crucial, trucker gear in the horizontal below the roof. Extend it! Work Fire the roof on big holds to a deserved ledge rest. Steep climbing on great holds above good gear will take you to a second bolt and an absolutely spectacular jug out left. Get a stem rest above the jug and traverse right on crimps passing a final bolt. Pulling around the lip is just good, clean fun. Wander up the weird, moderate face to a bolted anchor with fixed beaners for your lowering convenience.
Gear: I didn't place anything bigger than a #1 (red) C4, but that piece is crucial. Fingers/tips stuff (.3/.4/.5 BD C4s) and 3 bolts will get you to the top.
