Description
This was a bold route for its time, and it still provides excitement.
It starts fifty feet left of Angel's Fright at a tree.
Pitch 1 has 5.10A moves near the top of the initial crack, and on the face above. Belay at the large ledge, or continue on much easier ground to a smaller stance at the top of some steep flakes.
Start the crux pitch with some 5.9 face climbing past two bolts. A good stopper protects a 15 foot traverse to the right, along the lip of a small roof. Another solid stopper can be placed here, to protect the crux moves ten feet above. After you do the crux moves, a bolt protects a short 5.9 section to the belay.
Traverse left and finish on The Trough.
