Description Suggest change

Begin up blocky rock to gain a clean, right-angling fingers/lieback ramp (.10a). Follow this ramp until a sequence of face moves up and left of the crack comes into view, near the top of the ramp. Move up through these crux face moves and around a series of minor roofs. Either belay at pin with additional gear, or continue up easier terrain to the upper pitches of The Surprise (gear anchor).

Combining this pitch with the last two pitches of the Surprise makes for an excellent 3-pitch, 5.10 affair.

Location Suggest change

Approach as for Commmitment, continue past the Surprise ~40 ft until you find the obvious ramp start.

Protection Suggest change

Doubles to 2", single 3" if continuing up The Surpise.
