Description
Easy ramp down low, or climb the juggy face ledges up to a short somewhat slippery corner up high. Slight lay back but lots of feet and pretty big jugs. Crux is right after the roof, into the dihedral, and the very top is challenging to finish. Watch for falling debris if people above cliff. Steep slope sheds debris easily. There are some wet spots due to seepage, but it’s a decent route. Also you can rapp down to the anchor from above and set TR, if you want.
Location
Left side of the middle section of the cliff, right below the large prominent left facing dihedral on upper half of the route, above a small roof.
Protection
Good options for pro throughout, cams and tricams work well, microcams in some spots if you want. Can use some big hexes in a few spots. The ledges have a bit of deck hazard if you don’t place smartly. Crux is where the single bolt is, because there isn’t much of an option for pro here. Extend with slings for rope safety.
