Description
(Note: The route known as "The Premium" has been divided into two route submissions: The Half Premium and The Full Premium. The Half Premium ends at anchors on the midway ledge, and the Full Premium continues past those anchors to the top of the cliff.)
The Half Premium climbs the beautiful gray dihedral in the center of the cliff. Stick clip the first bolt and crank a technical and powerful crux sequence. Sandy jugs lead left, after which it's possible to topout on the midway ledge. Clip the anchors on the left and lower off, or, if it's not wet and/or you aren't already knackered, continue up the towering orange dihedral above to complete the Full Premium.
