Description
Pitch 1: 50' right of a deep chimney scramble up ledges past scoops. You are heading up to a long straight crack/seam. Climb to the right of this feature past a couple of bolts and thin gear in the crack. A 2 bolt belay(1/4 inchers)is reached near the top of the crack. Pitch 2: Head up and right to another two bolt belay (3/8" bolts). Continue up cracks or rappel to the ground (200'). This route is runout and continuous with some rolling crystals for extra excitement.
