Description

Climb High Flames Drifter for about 5 bolts to the obvious ledge, traverse the ledge left to a large pod just to the right of I Saw Jesus at the Chains, and then pull the crux past some small pockets up and right into a large hole. From here, climb easier terrain through large underclings and pad-sized in-cut crimps to the anchor. This route looks like it could be continued to the top of the slab like its neighbors.

Location

Between I Saw Jesus at the Chains and High Flames Drifter (starting on HFD for 5 bolts and then going left and up).

Protection

12 bolts and 2 lowering cold shuts (as of 1/2024).
