Description

Starts on a short crack. Edge past two cut bolts and finish up a left facing dihedral. The crux is at the start of the dihedral. The route protects well. Use double length slings to build an anchor on a big horn at the top of the route.

The walk off or top rope hike up option is to climbers left before the start of the Reproductive Wall.

Location

Walk along the Reproductive Wall on the north side of the Crooked River until you see a route with two cut bolts above midway up. If you come across fully bolted routes you've gone 5 routes too far.

Protection

Gear to 3" Optional to 3.5" Sling horns for anchors.
