Description
Center Left Face is a highly overlooked, beautiful climb.
P1. Start at a hard to locate (tons of flakes and cracks) dual cracks. Fun pitch.
P2. Then head right to a big, broken, right-facing corner.
Pitch 3 is reeely good if you like #4 Camalot sized slots. Wow! Route finding was a bit strange at the end of this pitch. I went right around the roof and headed up a right-facing corner (watch rope drag!) to a uncomfortable but airy belay.
Pitch 4 step right and crank the bitchin', cool, open book for a full.
Yeah, it's a haul up to this rock, but it's worth it.
