Description Suggest change

Quality route with varied face climbing, everything from slabs to roofs. Topo provided supplies the details.

Note that there are several routes which criss cross, so check the topo carefully while leading if you want to be sure to do the 'original' route!

P4 offers two distinct choices: burl straight up through some interesting 3D movements, or traverse around left and make a meandering route up the face. The latter is the original route, and requires some good use of slings to avoid heinous rope drag.

P5 also offers some choices. The original route goes at 5c+ A0 by pulling on two quickdraws at the beginning of the leftward traverse. These moves go at 6a+ with some good route finding. Alternatively, you can head straight up a perfect bolted crack at 7a+.

Location Suggest change

This is the middle of three lines I know about on the face. There is a painted marker at the base of P1.

Protection Suggest change

Bolts, brought a few cams and stoppers as well.
