Description

This is one of my favorite face climbs anywhere and can be done in 1 long pitch.

P1. Climb up to a flake and traverse right to a stance. Head straight up on great gear, passing 1 bolt to a bulge and double bolt belay. 5.10 b/c 80 ft.

P2. Move up and right and clip a bolt. Make a difficult mantel move to a stance and another bolt. Climb up and left on great holds passing another bolt into a right facing feature. Follow the right facing feature passing 2 more bolts to a double bolt belay. 5.11a 110 ft.

Location

From where the trail meets the cliff, follow the trail up and left about 300 ft. When you reach the cliff again move right on a somewhat ledge. Starts 30 ft left of an obvious left facing corner/arch beneath a short right facing roof.

Protection

Standard NC rack, slings, draws
