Description
Scramble up 4th class terrain for about 50 ft, tending right to a large and slightly sloping ledge at the base of an obvious wide crack.
P1: Climb this burly GM 5.9 OW crack to a small ledge, then climb another 10 ft of wide hand crack and exit right to a stance on a sloping ledge immediately to the left of the "Guillotine" chimney/flake (finger size pieces & smaller for belay).
P2: Traverse left on large flake (sketchy looking but solid) to the blunt arete. Place some pro, then climb somewhat grainy rock up the arete/face and then left to meet an easy wide crack. Follow this until under large roof, then traverse left underneath roof until you can belay at a stance on another sloping ledge just past the beginning of the final handing dihedral. Watch for suspect rock throughout this pitch (5.9 R). Alternately, climb "Guillotine" to avoid this heady pitch.
P3: Climb up the short but steep and perplexing dihedral using your bag of tricks. The money pitch. This is the corner that is formed by what looks like an upside-down boot from a distance.
