Description

A route with a lot of character & variety. Great rests with distinct climbing in between. The crux is short and approachable, so hop on it if you’re climbing in the area. The climbing line wanders a bit from the bolts, so look around & find the best path through.

Climb up the easy slab towards the large hueco in the headwall. When the wall gets steep, climb up right on good holds to a sinker pocket, then bust back left to the hueco.

Continue left to the flake & smaller huecos, then a short but difficult & tricky crux up & left through the chert band to a rest on the slab.

Wander up the slab on sometimes good, but mostly small slimpers, scoops, & smears to another rest.

Weave back right & up to an anchor at 36m. One 70m works, but you better have a knot in the end. You will be at the end of your rope!

Protection

11 draws (+3 fixed draws on route). A few longer draws or unclipping a few behind you can be helpful.
