Climbing.


Description 

A great face climb on edges, sidepulls, and knobs. At the left-center of the dome, locate the route about 30m right of the large, R-facing dihedral (Roof Bypass, #3).

Several mini-cruxes are possible by avoiding the flake on the right, but the difficulty is not increased. Really fun route--do it.


Protection 

About 5-6 draws to a 2-bolt anchor.

C. Love rocking Ben Dover while Ralphie climbs two routes over to the right.

This would be bend over looking from the road.

If Ben Dover is climbed in shoes with a Five Ten rubber is that considered safe stealth?

Fun climb on edges and knobs. Forget about the flake thing on the right, no need to go there.

This is a fun slab climb. I do believe that if you use the flake on the right of the bolts and the left of the anchor it lowers the rating to a 5.9.

The white line on the beta photo shows the way to climb the route. Don't get sucked left. It may pull you left but it is actually harder to get back on route. Stay with the bolt line.
