Description
Start in the short crack to the right of the dark streak. Move a tad left, then continue up and right following the obvious quartz vein past massive crystal jugs. Finish over a chockstone to chains. Route ends on same massive ledge at top of 2nd pitch of Skyline. Small runout in the middle, and the pro can be slightly tricky in places, but the climbing is fairly easy. Fun and airy in places!
Descent: Many options: Two rope rappel gets you all the way down. 70m gets you to a good stance and 20’ of 5.easy down climbing. Finish upper pitches of Skyline and walk off right.
