Description 

This is a great climb that requires both strength and technique. Climb vertical rock past two bolts to a stance below the roof. Clip another bolt here and use whatever strength you have to pull over. This is the crux. The face above is where the technique is involved as you climb sequential technical moves to the anchor.

Location 

This is the third bolted route from the left. It starts from level ground in the corridor and climbs red, lichen stained rock to a small roof that contains black lichen. Descend from a two bolt anchor shared with YngYngYng.

Protection 

6 or 7 bolts to a two bolt anchor.
