Dragon’s Face

You brave?…this massive, mossy, monster slab wall will determine that!  

Start left foot smearing where possible, right hand on crimpy side-pull about head level, and left hand on crimpy side-pull above head. Pull hard into the smear, set right foot on hidden nub & work your way up/ on lower flake. Gain stance and ready yourself to work your way up the face using sparse smooth edges & the right arete. Stay on the face and make your way up to the top  

I’d like to do this w/o the help of the arete but it multiplies the sketch factor. There aren’t many holds as you get towards the top, but there is a huge flake that seems like it wants to be pulled off, which would be very bad. Also, the further left you go brings you above the tree that’s growing on the face, which could also be very bad. 

Creekside in a beachy cove…downstream from The EGG…There’s a large downed tree that crosses the creek to help you traverse. Downed tree takes you right to The Gambler. Perfect Sunday is just downstream from that.

Landing is pretty flat & pads well. A spotter might be helpful but this is highball territory and you may just squish them.
