Description

Good luck searching for those rocks! Small holds and improbable sequences make up this adventure.

Start between Banshee and Highway 11. A well-protected thin face climb. Follow the first four bolts through 5.10 terrain. The next four bolts are sustained technical 5.12 climbing. Decipher this section to get to easier climbing above. Trend into the Banshee anchors following a .75 camalot and two more bolts.

Location

Look for the camouflaged bolts. Starts at the top of a large flake.

Protection

10 bolts and a .75 camalot. Two bolt anchor at the top.
