Description

Left of ?Unnamed?, begin in an open book with good climbing up natural cracks to a “sting” of a topout crux.  Follow the bolt line up great natural corner cracks and seams to mid route.  Make a reachy transition left onto the steep face using the beautiful thin seam, up under the roof.  Reach up over the roof to blind ledge/bolt and grovel up the dirty handcrack corner to the chain anchor.  Difficult footwork but spectacular natural climbing.
