(5.10a).

P1: Climb the big blocky corner up to the big ledge.

P2: From the left side of the big ledge, follow the right facing corner system (crux).

From the base of the dome head up and left past one big corner until the second corner. If you get to the big ramp that's the

you've gone too far.

If you approach via another route, pitch two starts at the left side of the big ledge.

Gear up to 3" with extra small stuff. A 4" piece might make parts more comfortable but isn't necessary.
