Description

This route offers great, technical movement up a series of fun features.  It's a great intro to the grade and is well protected.  This starts up a steep section to get established at the base of a ramp with a good rest about 20ft up.  (Alternatively, you can start on Autumn Gold and move right to a lower ramp after the hollow flakes, climb up that ramp with some tricky movement to get established at the base of the next ramp with the good rest at a similar difficulty but completely different style than the direct start.)  After the rest, continue up the ramp to transition right from good crimps/edges to an obvious side pull/undercling pinch feature.  Follow it up to a tricky horizontal and a series of side pulls and underclings to get established on another rest above.  This whole section of climbing is the crux and extremely fun!  After the rest, balance up and left to a good rest with gear at the base of the final two ramps. Pull a tricky mantel move to get to your last 'rest'.   From here, balance your way up the final ramp to get established on the ledge above.  This last section is also very fun and completely different than the rest of the route!
