Description

P1: climb 4th class up the grey rock bordering the orange rock (can rope up and place gear), belay on large ledge.

P2: start up a large hollow flake, then slab above, clipping bolts, passing the crux, then ledges until at a 2 bolt belay immediately right of a right-facing corner.

P3: climb up corner until it starts trending right (careful of a loose death flake here), look for a series of bolts above (next to some knobs), escape out of and over the corner/roof, heading up the bolt line, past various ledges, arriving at bolted anchor.

P4: short pitch of low 5th to top (gear belay).

perhaps one move of 5.9, rest is easier. poor rock quality, loose flakes, hollow flakes that you wouldn't want to whip on.

Location

immediately right of the red rock patch on the south east face of Power Dome. just right of Divorce Quartz and Spray the Baby, which pass through the grey rock bands that transect the orange rock. see photo.

Protection

pro to 2", bolts (4 per pitch)
