Description
This is a serious but great route for those who enjoy thin holds.
Move up a short, steep wall, clip the first bolt, and then pull onto small holds on the slab. Several thin slab moves bring you up to a precarious mantle onto a small, sloping ledge (you wouldn't want to fall from here). Stand up, clip the second bolt, then make hard moves into the corner (crux). Superb stemming takes you up the corner - small gear (RPs and offsets) backs up the fixed pin. At the stance below the final headwall, get good gear - RPs, small cam, and/or Ball Nuts. Then enjoy good, moderately difficult climbing up the headwall to a rhodo ledge.
