Description

P1: Challenging moves off the deck get you started. Sustained, thoughtful, delicate face climbing past well-spaced glue-ins (thanks Kyle!) and a few cruxy bits gets you to a gear belay in a scoop (.5 camalot or small stoppers/cams). (120 feet, 5.11b)P2: Couple options:-Follow the crack out right to the blunt arete with two bolts (P2 of Adams Rib), belay on ledge . Reccomended. (60 feet, 5.10)-"The junkyard"- 3 [retrofitted] bolts following a right angling system (5.10)-"Jimmys variation" (see Cramer guide) which climbs a cool horizontal quartz dike leftwards to meet up with the end of Falling Ross. (5.7 R)

P3: The final pitch climbs the offset seam/thin crack on the right end of the Froggy Bottom ledge. Challenging laybacking, but protects well with brass and a few C3s if you can hang in to place them. Bring a double set of small wires, and join the end of Dreamweaver to the top. (60 feet, 5.12b)

Location

Clean face with glue-in bolts right of Adam’s Rib/ the Coke Bottle
