Description
This route is the north most route on the west face. It can be reached by climbing up a flake (by a nice tree) to an obvious ledge. Whereas the 1st bolt is kind of high it is not hard to climb there and once clipped the protection is not lacking. Climb up the City of Rocks (pocketed edged) face past 11 bolts on this nice fin. Very straight-forward climbing with only the odd technical move thrown in.
