Description

Start with some left-facing flakes directly below the roof - the gear here is better than it looks and the climbing is pretty mellow. Plug a piece or two under the roof then pull above into a nice hand crack (crux). At the top of the hand crack, step right into a wider but juggy crack. Anchors are slightly right where the wide crack peters out.
