Description
Get off the ground with some easy to moderate slab and face climbing. Pull up under the first roof, and prepare yourself for back-to-back cruxes. The first is a hanging slab into underclings, and the second is a powerful exposed traverse right at the lip of the bulge till you hit jugs at the anchor.
Location
Up the trail left from where it meets the wall, this route goes up the left face of a large open book capped with a pair of roofs.
Protection
6 bolts to a two bolt anchor. One bolt has a permadraw to help with cleaning.
