Description
This route climbs an obvious, somewhat vegetated right facing corner for two pitches before striking out for another two pitches on the poorly protected face above.
Pitch 1 - a very short pitch to get to the base of the corner. There are several variations from easier to harder.
Pitch 2 - climb the right facing corner to a very small ledge and belay(5.9).
Pitch 3 - continue up the corner(5.9) then surmount the roof at the top and belay on a ledge just above.
Pitch 4 - wander up the face following the line of least resistance to a belay below a small roof(5.6). Supposedly there is a bolt up and right, but it can be hard to find.
Pitch 5 - continue up the face to the top.
