Description
This is on a chossy wall, but it gets direct sunlight.
P1. This sweet crack climb starts up a very prominent hand crack just right of a large overhang with a nice finger crack. The hand crack is easy and low angle for 30 feet to a nice ledge. Continue straight up a vertical, rotten crack with a pin about 10 feet up protecting the rotten section crux (5.9). Continue up a nice hand jam/lieback system that gradually widens to offwidth but gets less steep. The anchor is one bolt and a fixed tricam on a slabby ledge.
Pitch 2 (which I didn't do) goes left on ledge to nice crack/flake system and some roofs to large walk-off ledge.
