Description

This route follows the obvious crack on the right side of the wall.  A bouldery start leads to the crack and some combination of hand jams, layback, stems, pockets and crimps.  It eases off a bit as it goes up but it's sustained enough to maintain interest. It takes gear well and has good stances once you climb past the start.  Two anchor bolts on top. Walk off

Location

Rightmost end of the south face directly below the huge boulder on top

Protection

Medium cams and stoppers.  Two top anchor bolts
