Description
After setting the rope up on Fever Pitch, you'll want to do this TR. It is noticeably more challenging than the 5.3; a great introduction to steep climbing for the beginner. Start as for Fever Pitch but move left along the ramp, about half-way. From here, move up over big edges, surmounting the headwall (the crux) between the two black streaks. From the ledge, move up and then right to the chain anchors, shared with Fever Pitch.
Location
Southeast face of Gunsmoke Wall, just left of Fever Pitch.
Protection
Chain anchors.
