Description Suggest change

This climbs the right facing, right-trending crack/ramp until you can gain the face above. This should be just after a large block with a stripe in it. Continue up the face, pulling off an easy mantle. Then turn left to meet your anchors. Pitch 2 angles right around the overhangs, and reaches the base of alarge right-facing flake. Climb this flake til it's end.

Protection Suggest change

2 bolts at the top of each pitch give you your anchors. Otherwise bring a large hex for the initial crack, some medium gear for the rest of the 1st pitch. The second pitch, requires some small to medium gear, and either well-placed large pieces for the flake or medium SLCD's. A couple of runners will also be needed.2 single rope rappels to get down.
