Description The route climbs the left hand line on the tallest part of the main wall. Work the arete and the face barely right on small crimps up the vertical wall for three bolts, and then enjoy the near vertical 5.8 face to anchors.
Protection 6 bolts to chains.

| Great route- had a blast on the lower technical section and good fun on the upper. Watch for loose rock up top, though- this route is still shedding a bit. |

| Can't believe that no one's commented yet that the crux moves on the route are subject to ledging out if you blow it before hitting the second bolt. A good route and well worth doing, but PG13 at least. There's a big boulder that you're almost certain to become good friends with if you blow it on the crimpy, small-hold off balance moves getting to the 2nd bolt. I'd reccommend clipping the first bolt with a locker-if you managed to brush the draw and unclip yourself, you'll be activating your dental plan and taking an unplanned year or two off at best. A cool heads-up route. |

| Very nice route but only one hard move and no harder than 9+ at most. As far as safety, didn't see a problem but if you're worried about hitting the boulders it would be easy to stick clip the second bolt. |
