Description
Serious ramp-age up a steep face! From the alcove hang below the imposing shield, chunky terrain leads to a leftward flake traverse beneath the corner. A funky boulder problem brings you up into the corner proper. Advanced ramping maneuvers continue on until a final tricky boulder cuts back left, ending on a heroic rail traverse to the anchor. The hard climbing is unique, and the rock quality is reasonable. What a wild feature!
Listed as the #25 project below The Flakes in the Granite Guide. This was originally bolted and cleaned by Drew Bedford and Clay Watson.
Location
This is the right leaning and hanging dihedral splitting the giant steep shield directly below The Flakes. Scramble from the Upper East Gate approach gully up broken ledges systems to gain a slab below the obvious shield. Rope up at the last ledge and climb an easy slab past an anchor and two bolts to a nice hang with an anchor below the route.
Protection
Bolts. About 13 of them
