Description Suggest change

This is the center route on the North face of the Main Rock. In-between Siguapa (left arete) and Stemmer (right dihedral), this route is often confused for one of its 5.10 neighbors because it is quite simple until the top ten feet.

Climb up the slab using large grips and an underling. At the top lies a contrived crux: moving off tiny crimps with very tiny feet, find a way to throw into the top jug. A fall in this section is very well protected thanks to the third (and last) bolt placement.

This gets an "R" rating because the first bolt is about 25 feet off the ground, although climbing in the initial section is probably only 5.9 or so.

Protection Suggest change

3 bolts to a 2 bolts anchor.

To set up a TR, bring a 5' sling/cordelette and walk to the top of the main rock.
