Description
Shares the initial 30 feet of climbing up the left side of the pillar before following a crack/ramp to the right. From there, a bit of dusty crack spits you into a gorgeous slightly-flaring thin hands dihedral which seems to last forever. Mantel left onto the ledge before the imposing roof to access the anchors for the normal route.
