Description Suggest change

Start just right of Smooth as Silk at the next narrow buttress. Climb a fun, awkward start (face, stem) to a thin crack (right hand) below the first bolt. Protect the crack, then step up and clip the first bolt. Try to resist the A0 moves that follow. Get established in the shallow bowl leading to the second bolt, clip that rig, then continue up to the anchor.

Easily top roped after doing Smooth as Silk.

Location Suggest change

Immediately right of Smooth as Silk, is a narrow buttress with two bolts on a shallow, concave face.  Rappel from the same anchor as Smooth as Silk.

Protection Suggest change

Standard rack. Two bolts (1/2 inch S.S.).

 I found a 00 TCU, a #2 TCU, a couple 1/2" cams, a small nut and a #1 Camalot particularly useful.
