Description

Pitch 1: Climb crack through roof or climb left of roof on face protected by 2 bolts. Then traverse right to slab climbing protected by two more bolts. Climb straight up to belay on ledge on ramp heading left. 5.8

Pitch 2: Follow ramp up left to climb a wide crack. After the crack move right on to a ridge/ fin with one bolt on it. Follow the fin up and left to a ledge and belay just above the ledge next to big hole in rock. 5.7

Pitch 3: Climb a easy ramp to short crack to the right. Set belay above crack on slab to allow for easier communication or continue up easy chimney until rope runs out. 5.6

Pitch 4: Continue up easy slab and cracks to the top. There are alternate cracks to follow to the top on the right all are no harder then 5.7

Location

Starts on right side of face before trail to "Sinocranium" goes under a boulder.

Decent: two 60 meter raps down back side

Protection

Light rack of cams and nuts with one #4 cam for the wide crack on second pitch. Long runners are nice to have to allow for long wandering pitches.

No bolted belay stations.
