Description

This is a proud line more or less up the center of the face.

P1 (5.11-): Start on the left edge of a staging platform and work up featured rock through a couple bulges and a blank section before a good stance. Then continue up slabby rock to the anchor. Clip the anchors and take a step right onto a small but comfortable stance. A belay bolt for the 2nd pitch backs up the anchors.

P2 (5.10+): Move right to broad grassy ledge and start the second pitch in right facing corner. Stem up and pull onto the vertical face using an assortment of protruding knobs. Fun knobby facing climbing leads to the top with a thin move to gain the anchors.
