Description 

From a huge flat boulder start up a triangular block, head right to a left facing off width corner or left up an easy crack. They both take you to the same place, a squeeze chimney. Clip a glue-in on the left face w/a long runner, then mount the ledge and head left on a ledge. Traverse thin face moves to a right facing flake(takes .3 BD)to another ledge, Plug a .5 and/or #1BD w/ long runner in downward crack. Climb left up the arete making a few airy/thin/dicey/committing moves past a bolt then run it out to the last ledge. Plug a #2 BD in the horizontal crack and climb a steep face past 2 bolts to an R finish on nubs that feel huge by this point on . Ankles have been broken on this route. Serious climb w/bad falls :) Awesome and worth doing!

Location

Protection 

.3 -2 bd 1ea.
Four old bolts w/ good hangers:(

2 double runner will decrease rope drag. If not it will start weighing on you towards the top while running it out:(
