Description

Start up a ledgy ramp system to the base of a chimney gully. Pop up through this till you hit a 20' dirt ramp. Place a piece or sling a tree and move up to the next chimney system that's a bit overgrown. Instead of fighting up this, take the left face of the chimney and work up till a landing. Trending slightly left and under a tree. Trust some iffy foot blocks and end the first pitch on a large ledge. From here trend up and right through a roof. Then on incut juggy edges  dusted with lichen. Follow the sparse gear and make some funky mantles to finish this climb out. Gear anchor can be easily built below the main summit, climbers right side of the summit.

Location

Right side of the pixel wall. Partway up the gully with Sentinel at your back.
