Description

Easy entry moves take one to the 1st bolt. The second bolt is side-clipped from out left as is the technical entry to the crux section which is traversed into. Extreme underclings with a strenuous compression move on the steep friction establishes the climber for the following moves to bolt 3. The climb eases considerably thereafter. Take a little care on the 5.9 finishing moves after the last bolt because of the proximity of possible ledging.

Location

This is the 4th sport route from the left
