Description

Climb featured, nearly vertical rock before transitioning onto a low angle, right leaning ramp. Mindfully select edges while progressing up the ramp until it tapers. Engage the slightly overhung featured face, including a wild fin, to reach the chains.

Shoulder length slings are recommended at the first bolt on the route, the first bolt on the ramp, and possibly the first bolt on the overhang.

Personally I have always found this route to be slightly harder than the listed grade of 5.8.

Location

This is the third bolted line from the left. It is the left line of the two routes in this sector.

Protection

Approximately 12 bolts to chains. The last few bolts and chains are shared with the route to the right.
