Description 

Recently broken holds on this route make the bolts seem useless. Not a good one to try and lead until the bolt placements are moved. Start by jumping up to a large beach and manteling up into a pocketed face full of jugs and finger pockets. Finding the holds and linking the moves is a challenging affair. Hint: move left, then work back right. Reachy and sustained.

Location 

This is a hard one to find. Look for a natural break between the teeth. On your right you should see a small cave and tree. Start just to the right of this small tree. Scramble around the back side up a steep gully to reach the anchors.

Protection 

Top Rope.
