Description
The first part is smooth slab with just enough holds. The cruxes are at the first bolt transitioning from the headwall to the slab and then passing the next overlap. From the ledge above the bolts surmount the horizontal crack and head right. Climbs the featured face using the crack for protection. It curves a little to the left and goes up a left facing dihedral to the Kingfisher anchor.
From the ledge it's easy to head more or less straight up to link to the upper part of Kingfisher for a nice all bolts 5.9 slab pitch.
