Description
This is a fun route that climbs a prominent pillar via discontinuous cracks and face. There is some hollow rock, so be deliberate with gear placements. There is definitely an "alpine feel" to this route.
Begin in a small, left-facing corner that opens to fingers at ~10 feet. Delicately climb through some hollow, blocky terrain to gain a left-trending, fingers flake. Continue up and left onto the face following the flake until you reach a good stance below a small roof. Clip a bolt, and climb the face above passing another bolt before arriving at the chains.
