Description

Climb up the wide crack on the left and wander easily up the middle of the face with no pro until you reach the thin cracks below the rest ledge on the left. Move up, reach right and strenuously hand-traverse a few feet right, then straight up the center of the upper block.

The huge upper block seems to be held up by a smaller, unstable looking boulder. See pic.

Location

This climb is on a distinct-looking pile of huge blocks to the right of the Party Wall and left of the Orange wall.

Protection

This climb was retro-bolted (without permission) and subsequently chopped. Standard rack, large cams might help at the top. The FA party slung the unstable block as pro. There is potential for groundfall on this route. See the comments below.

Long slings needed for TR setup.
