Description Suggestion

It feels like a sport route with trad placements, just fun moves!


Climb the angled crack most of the way then break right onto ledges on the face. Traverse on beautiful face climbing into the center crack and take it to the top.


Crux is transitioning from crimps on the face into the center crack.

*This line was Re-discovered by Grant Freeman et al, and re-named "X Marks The Spot" before the Magazine Article from Summit 1986 was read by Miles Johnson & Grahm Hornsby denoting a similar climb, albeit shorter than original description*
