Description 

Start about 10’ to the right of Neil’s not Young Anymore and climb up and left, clipping that climb’s first bolt. Move up to the right to make the second clip. Passing this bolt is perhaps the crux, an awkward move using an undercling and a flat sloper, although it’s hard to tell as most of this climb is awkward and has several clips from awkward stances (except for taller climbers). Continue up and left across the dark, fractured rock and pull over the headwall. This is more technical than the lower crux but straight forward. Continue over easy ground to chain anchors, shared with Bagpipes & Ale and Neil’s not Young Anymore. Rappel to descend.

Location 

Third bolt line from the right, center left of west face.

Protection 

7 bolts, bolted anchor
