Description Suggest change

Wildly overhanging tufa climbing for this grade.  From the topo I saw, there used to be a ladder to start this climb, but it's no longer there.  I don't think this gets done much as a result as it was quite dirty.  It's still doable but it adds a second crux.

Climb up and out the tufa clipping a few old threads until you can mantle it and stem off the bigger tufa behind you.  Traverse left (depends on which way you're facing!) on easier ground.  Clip another thread, lead back and climb jugs to a big hole.  Great rest here.  Above you is the lone glue-in on the route and the crux.  Surmount this and gain a nice big ledge.  After this effort, you should do the second pitch above you too.  Probably best to bring your second up though as drag would be rough.

Location Suggest change

In the hearth area, a crazy overhanging cave feature.

Protection Suggest change

Mostly threads and one glue-in to a thread anchor.
