Description
This has slightly awkward movement but in a good way. This route climbs well enough and protects well. It's a good start to the South Ramp. The crux move comes turning the lip from the dihedral to the slab above.
Location
On the South Face of The Box, to the climber's right of the steep, smooth face of Discipline and Cornucopia, a left-leaning ramp and crack ascends to a right-facing corner and roof (traverse) before ending at an intersection with the South Ramp. Climb this to a good belay just above a tree at this intersection and below the 'tunnel' (this will be obvious when you arrive) on the South Ramp. Finish on the South Ramp to the summit.
Protection
Cams or other protection from 1-3" and slings.
Edit to add: another user has suggested that the route is R/X rated, stating: " I placed an orange Metolius and a new #3 Wild Country on the right, just eight feet above the flat boulder. No more pro can be placed until after making the crux move, about thirty feet up." See the comments below.
