Description

A fine piece of face climbing that will keep you guessing. This one sports some updated hardware and great gear, so don't hesitate to get on it!

Just below a white streaked roof with a bolt above it, start on hollow but good flakes. Move up to the roof following good, but tricky gear in solid rock. Clip the first bolt and start into the ramps. Try to figure out the next section before pumping out. Continue up and right following two more bolts and sloped ramps with some intermittent gear. Get to a large sloped ledge with a short dihedral. Continue up right into a larger corner to a roof. Move right onto a big slab ramp with bolts to belay. The bolts are just below the two steep aid lines.

Location

About 30' right of flying frog and 50' right of Mescaline Daydream. When the trail to get to the Mescaline ledge reaches the wall you are below the start. Rappel with 2 60m ropes.

Protection

Many finger sized up to #3 camalot. A few small tri-cams and rack of nuts are helpful. Draws for 3 bolts and some slings for keeping it running smooth. Inspect slings on the anchor, but there is also a quick link on a bolt.
