Description

As with many climbs in this area of T-Wall, some slightly friable rock shields an excellent sequence of quality steep climbing.

Start up some low angle, moderate terrain on okay rock. As the moves get a bit trickier, the rock quality improves! Keep angling up and right to the roof/corner feature that makes up the crux of the route. It's likely 10- at worst to get to the shallow alcove rest prior to the crux. Once there, load some gear in the horizontal, rest up, then fire through an awesome sequence with some combination of heel hooks, kneebars, and maybe even a hidden jug or two. There's big air potential here, but the fall is clean!

Once over the roof and established in the corner, plug a thank-you-Jesus cam, and continue up the shallow crack for maybe 20 feet. When your weight is finally back on your feet in a decent stance, look closely for the bolted anchors, which camouflage into the face before you.
