Description

This route would be fantastic if it was twice as long. Also, the crux start will be even more difficult for shorter people.

Walk around the corner to the right of

Lower Progressive

to a broken, right-facing dihedral with a fin of rock in it. Scramble up this (beware loose boulder halfway up) to a ledge. The route begins here and follows a left-rising splitter up to a notch. Pull a difficult start to gain some jugs before the crack. Angle up and left on hand jams to wide-hands, then back to hands. Good footwork will ease the difficulties. Reach a ledge and rappel from 2 Metolious rap hangers.

Protection

Optional med-large nut for start, #1, (2) #2, #3.5 Camalot.
