Description

Look for a wide chimney with a sweeping flake inside it formed in a dihedral directly south of

Elevator

. Beware of the thorny bushes at the base of the climb. Begin chimneying up the wide crack using the crack formed by the sweeping flake and the main wall for feet. Staying farther out of the chimney will help to make this climb feel like 5.6. When the chimney squeezes down to an offwidth (crux), pull into the crack using the flake and do a couple of offwidth moves to the top. Set a gear anchor.

Protection

I placed one number six Camalot and used several medium-sized cams for the anchor.
