Description
An unprotected mini-route near the bottom of the ramp. Fortunately the holds are as good as they look! (They seem reasonably solid too.)
On the first section of reasonably high wall, there is a line of big pockets, just to the right of the orange streak and initial crack taken by Banshee. Climb up the pockets, without any gear, and top out. E2 5b. An ascent with side runners in Banshee is possible but contrived, lowering the grade to HVS.
Descent is made either by scrambling off to the right or trailing a rope and abseiling from the cable abseil station to the left.
