Description Suggest change

Quality climbing on the right side of the main section of the Fall Wall. Challenging climbing leads through an overlap and into the crux right facing corner above. Take the expanding flake up and right to the next corner system. 

A bit of history: During the first ascent Fedrizzi fell with a loop of rope in his mouth and snapped a tooth off at the gum line. Feeling no pain after lowering off he went back up and finished the lead. If this isn't accurate someone please correct me in the comments section and I will edit the text.

Location Suggest change

Start on top of the boulder platform, next to the Crossroads corner crack system. Look for the small right facing corner with a large flake just above. 

Protection Suggest change

Runout climbing however, modern gear protects the crux. The expanding flake however, should be climbed with caution. The first ascent party used a custom made long TCU to plug deep in the flake after the crux.
