Description
The direct start to Palsy ascends the off-fingers crack on the face. This section climbs really well and has decent, but fiddly gear, with the first piece being a bit off the deck. The crux also happens to be fairly low, and in combination with some funky gear, has been the scene of numerous groundfalls. It doesn't warrant an R rating, but it is heads up at the very least.
Once past the crux, mantle onto a sloping ledge, then head up the killer right-facing corner. You can easily avoid the 5.10 portion by walking around to the right onto the ledge that the dihedral starts from.
