P2: (100 ft) Crux moves are climbing up 15 feet (.10c or A1) from left side of belay past 4 bolts into a thin crack. Once in the crack follow it clipping bolts and placing nuts to a small overhang traverse (.10d). Scramble further up the crack setting up next belay in the Doug-fir or continue up to first large ledge setting a belay in the crack. Note: rope drag may become an issue past the Doug-fir.
