Description

Start up a corner to gain the long ledge system on the main face. Traverse right across the ledge to a bolted anchor. It would be wise to belay here and climb the route in two pitches. From the bolted anchor move right to a steep ramp protected with two bolts.  You will see two old pins on the ramp. Delicate balancy climbing up the ramp to a ledge. Move right across the ledge and up to a slab where you will traverse right. From here move straight up through a corner then up and slightly left through overlaps all the way to the top and a bolted rappel station. 

Location

at the left end of the long obvious ledge system. Climb the corner to get to the ledge.

Protection

5 bolts, a handful of cams from .3 to number 1 C4.
