Description

Climb up dimpled limestone through vegetation and the occasional loose rock. Hang on for dear life when you're exposed and the wind blows. Friction is your friend!

Location

On the main arete of the formation.

Protection

10 bolts (last few bolts are shared) to Pocket Rocket's Chains. Runout before jumping to the "second" pitch bolts. Bring QDs and a helmet for loose rock. Use bolt #5 (huge glue-in) on Pocket Rocket Right Variation for second rappel on descent or use a 70m rope.
