Overview
P1 – 5.6
Climb the right facing corner for 15′, then hand traverse at the roof right for a few feet until the main crack system is reached. Follow this crack system up, then through a chimney to the first belay (gear belay). Make sure to watch out for rope drag around the opening corner.
P1
P2 – 5.4
Chimney up the wide easy chimney, belaying at a bolted anchor.
P3 – 5.7
Another chimney pitch. This pitch is hard to protect, and is steeper and more narrow than the previous chimney. Belay at a huge ledge (gear anchor).
P4 – 5.5, 40m
Continue up to belay at another huge ledge (gear anchor).
P5 – 5.3
Climb left into the vertical tunnel. This is a very interesting and unique pitch. However, the rock is quite slick, and pro is scarce until climbing out the other side of the tunnel. Finish with a short crack to belay at another big ledge.
P5
P6 – 5.5
Climb the excellent handcrack in the left facing dihedral to the top of the climb.
P6
Descent
The descent is an easy gully system that has an optional one or two rope rappel en route. This is to the left of the climb.
