Description 

Amazing. Start by balancing up the slab to the roof, then traverse left carefully until you can reach up and clip the first bolt. Dance up the corner diagonally to the right, underneath overhangs, until you are where the corner cuts back to the left. Rest while you can, then venture up and to the right across the pale face to a horizontal break. Now straight up through horizontals in the overhanging face to the anchors. Pumpy, exposed and super-fun!

Location 

About 150 feet from the buttress where General Admission is. Look for a slab leading up to a low-lying roof. First bolt is on the lip on the left end of the roof.

Protection 

7 bolts, anchors w/chains
