Description
Climb large edges to a single bolt about 20' off the ground, pull the crux, and then wander upwards to a ledge where you can get some gear (1.5") before under-clinging left along a gaping flake - this is where Switchbacks comes in from the left - continue up that route to it's belay under a small arch.
- Fun climbing but it's a little heads up with the bolt being so high, although a micro cam might just fit below the bolt (a #0 Metolius tcu doesn't fit).
