Description
Begin with a tricky boulder off the deck to gain the slab (definitely use a Stick Clip). The slab leads you to a big jug rest half way up the wall, gaze at the steep glory that awaits! Transition off the jug over a bulge into a corner. Escaping the corner to better holds above is the crux, but don't be fooled the last 20ft is pumpy and will be the redpoint crux for some! Currently the only climb in the wall with perma draws.
If the opening boulder is not your fancy you can traverse into atmospheric river from the line to the left which starts at the 2 bolt anchor above the cedar stump. Cut right in after bolt 3 to the permas, rope routing is ok using standard length draws, perhaps a longer draw on bolt 3 is best.
