Description

Direct start to “steggo shoe snacks” that avoids the traverse and just tackles the corner directly below the p1 crack system.  

Tricky stemming leads to a bit of jamming and a cruxy power layback move then 5.10 till merging with snacks.

To protect the start i had my belayer stand on my back and place a high brass offset but this is only because we didn’t have smaller nuts.  With micros there are a lot of bomber options.

Protection

Gear to 1inch, doubles .5 and down. Brass offsets and micro nuts for the very bottom
