Description Suggest change

The sister route to Pale Face, this one starts with a fun 5.10 dihedral roof. After this continue up the slab and arête on good holds until it gets steep and thin. Do a tricky move and then head to the left side. Climb straight up for a few bolts to an overhang. Move back right here to the crack then continue on a leftward diagonal past thin holds to the anchors.
A 70 meter rope will JUST lower to the ground with rope stretch. If you're a bit short move up the hill to the right a bit (be sure to tie a Knot In the End of your rope!).

Location Suggest change

10 feet left of the Pale Face start, below an overhanging dihedral and a small steepening arête. It's between Gopher Broke and Pale Face.

Protection Suggest change

15 bolts to anchors with chains and lowering biners.
70m rope for lowering
