Description

Another excellent 5.10 at Otter, and a fairly well protected lead. Start a few feet left of Inner Sanctum. Climb a short face on good holds to mantle in a large horizontal break. Puzzle a bit at how to overcome the roof, then fire a burly move to a good finger lock. Easier but engaging face climbing, leads to a steep layback flake for the finish.
