Description
The "arresting start" involves a bouldery sequence that can be done coming in from the right or the left. After getting a breather on jugs above the first bolt, commit (carefully) to a sequence on slot edges to the second bolt. A dynamic move gives way to a mantel onto a ledge.
Thirty feet of easy climbing through bad rock lead to a tricky sequence involving some longer reaches on steep terrain and a somewhat awkward maneuver to get established under the intimidating roof. Thankfully, the "noble finish" is far easier than it appears; just follow the line of epoxied buckets and enjoy the position.
Pull over the lip, clip the anchors, and then contemplate the most difficult crux of the route: how to clean it.
Good movement at the beginning and end, marred by some poor rock and copious glue.
Location
