Description Suggest change

Don’t let the start spook you — what can look intimidating from the ground quickly reveals itself to be secure and easily protected once you’re on the rock. Step up and reach left to a bomber handhold that sets you up perfectly for your first piece of gear in the vertical seam.

From there, follow a series of cracks and features trending upward to a generous shelf near the top. Good hand holds, solid foot holds, and reliable gear placements abound along the way.

From the shelf, finish on a short but enjoyable ~10 foot sequence using lieback moves on the crack with solid face footholds and arete features to aid your balance. The climb ends at a bolted anchor.

As of summer 2025, there’s some vegetation in the cracks and lichen on portions of the rock. It’s already a fun and worthwhile climb, and with more traffic, it’ll likely clean up into an even better line.

Location Suggest change

Found between Sprout Route and Captain Fist, this route is easily identified by the right-angled crack that starts the line.

Protection Suggest change

Small gear and a #3. Offsets are helpful, but a standard rack of smaller cams (0.1–0.75), a #3, and a well-placed nut provided all the necessary protection.
