Description 

P1. Begin in the center of the rock formation. Traverse into a corner, go up a ramp then crack on jugs for 30'. Cruise through easy ledges to big corner. Continue up corner until it is possible to move left into crack for your blue Camalot. Continue up this until ledge.

P2. Rocket up to stance under roof on left layback to place a few cams, come back down, move right onto face and up strenuous crack for couple of moves. Gain the ledge and step right in an OW that has gear in back: 1 gold Camalot, nuts, and sling. Proceed to the summit and rap off to a notch, then do another rap to ground. Escape P2 by continuing on big ramp and into a notch.
