Description

A tricky start leads to an arching overhanging traverse that crosses Chem Studs and finishes with The Refrigerator.

The crux is getting from the start to the first ledge. From the ledge, follow the arching overhang. Use face holds left of the overhang then transition to using the crack at the back of the overhang.

Clip the anchors of Chem Studs for protection (if you want) and then continue the traverse to the right. Finish by climbing the offwidth shared with The Refrigerator and then rappel from a tree.

Have a follower clean the route. Leading and cleaning the traverse would be difficult.

Location

Start in front of a tree just left of Chem Studs.

Protection

Use small cams (less than a #1) up to the first ledge and for the first part of the arching overhang. When the overhang becomes horizontal, use larger cams (#1, #2) at the back of the overhang.
