Description
This climbs the obvious orange/tan wall on the far left side of TBB. Start left of 'Temptation Arete.'
Climb a slab past 2 bolts, and gain the orange/tan headwall above. Enjoyable 5.11 climbing leads to a good rest at about halfway. 30 feet of difficult and sustained climbing on small holds, thin feet, and long moves continues to the anchor.
Be sure to extend the line to the second set of anchors!
A large, hollow, flake system left of the 7th/8th bolt is worth being aware of. Tread lightly for a move or two.
