Description
I've never done the 2nd pitch...But the 1st is brilliant!
Solo up the bushy, easy pedestal and continue or belay (yellow/extra red Alien sizes)...
(at the start) It may look short but it's hard and it does get bigger... Crux red Alien-size jams and layaway/stems come right off the ledge. After punching it to a stem-stance the crack keeps growing in width. At midway, you get some fun and steep hand jams around blocks to a weird wide section in a corner. A couple grunt moves later and you'll be rounding the top to the funky anchor on the right wall.
Rap off to the ground is about 125'...Or check out the upper part if you're curious.
