Description
An interesting route, but difficult to find it in good condition. If it's too dry, you'll get a huge amount of dirt blown into your face from the cracks. If it's too wet, it'll stay wet for a while.
Pitch 1 (5.6): Easy grassy crack to a belay ledge.
Pitch 2 (5.10a): Some tenuous crack moves leads to thin face climbing.
Pitch 3 (5.7): Fairly straightforward climbing up a crack system to a belay ledge.
Pitch 4 (5.9): Go up an awkward dihedral/crack system. At the top traverse left under a roof. Pull around a corner to a ledge and the belay. Due to it's awkward nature, this will be the crux pitch for many climbers.
Pitch 5 (5.6): Go left from the belay and go up the easiest line to the top. The rock on this pitch is very loose and chossy.
