Description

Pitch 1 climbs an easy 5.7 crack(D’oh) for 70ft and then continues up 5.10a slab and knobs for an additional 90ft.(160ft)

Pitch 2 climbs up more 5.10a slab past 2 bolts to a small left facing corner leading up to a bulge. Either lieback or face climb on top while placing small pro down in the corner. Continue up and left to an easier crack with more pro and then up awesome knobs to a 2 bolt anchor. (110ft)

Pitch 3 continues climbing up knobs trending slightly left past 8 bolts before abruptly cutting directly right on a small ledge after clipping the 9th bolt. Follow this ledge up a series of steps to a 2 bolt anchor. (170ft).

Excellent slab climbing. Thanks to Greg Barnes for all the hard work on this and all the other great routes he's put up!!!!!
