Description
There’s a crux getting into the first crack, but good pro off the belay. The crack system above has some sequences that can be confusing on-sight. Gaston moves, finger locks, smears and mantle should help and place cams and nuts til you reach a bolt above the final crack moves.
Location
Belay at the shared anchors with chains (top of Butterflakes/Kingpin). Climb far left into a short crack system that takes good pro 1-2 inch cams. Mantle onto the top and continue up left over broken terrain until you see another crack. Place good pro low and sow it up if you want. Mantle again to find a bolt and join the anchors which are way up to the right that merge with Separation Anxiety and Hazy Daze. With a 70m rope you can lower back to anchor.
