Description
Start just right of Ledges to Lawndale and take the easiest path through the initial steep section - it's possible to climb direct at about 5.10.
Once established in the first horizontal move up and right aiming for the solitary bolt. Clip the bolt, pass another horizontal and make easy moves on positive patina edges. The last few moves are heady and involve leaving the security of a small ledge to do a short bit of smearing to the top.
Bolted anchor on top as well as a natural thread which can be used and backed up with small gear if bolts are missing.
- A very good route with an interesting mix of steep positive climbing and insecure friction.
