Description

This is a short but fierce little climb that is much harder than it first appears. It has very cryptic climbing that would be a tough onsight for the grade. This felt every bit 12a to me, even knowing where all the holds were.

The rock is very good, but I'd imagine the coarse grains will settle with traffic, making the line more user-friendly but possibly also a little harder.

Climb through a small bulge to get established on the face. A good rest can be found slightly left of the bolt line here. Step back right, and crimp your way to bolt 5 where the climbing eases. Follow a short seam/flake past one more bolt to the anchor.

Location

It is just climber's left and around the corner from the short tunnel formed by the Dorsal Fin Buttress.

Protection

6 bolts.
