Description
A total classic with a wandering line and a BIG feel to it, and tons of exposure.
1) 50ft 5.7. Up the groove, then traverse left along big flakes to a ledge with a huge chimney behind it.
2) 80ft 5.8. There's a big flake left of the chimney (facing the rock) up this, over the top (long sling) and down the other side (insane!!!!!) to a tricky and exposed move onto a ledge (crux). Go around the arete and up the finishing slab with a feeling of real achievement.
Descend to the left and down the steps.
