Description

This is a two pitch slab climb on the right side of the first tier.

The 5.9 crux is between the first and second bolt, where you will have to do a mantle through a glass-polished section with a hand-foot match. You may be tempted to bypass to the right but that is loose/chossy and looks like a feasible path but isn't. By the time you realize this you'll be far enough from the bolt that peeling off puts you at ground-fall risk. After this move the remainder of the first pitch is 5.8ish and the second pitch is 5.7.

The intermediate belay is a marginal stance and you may want to skip it and link pitches. Weigh that decision against the rope drag, as the route bends right after this anchor and there will be moderate rope drag to the second achors.

Descend in two raps with a 60M rope.

Location

Take the vertical handline up, traverse right on the ledge.. pass the handlines. You'll see a scramble that heads up through some grass to the wall.

Protection

Bolted. Both anchors have two bolts with rap rings.
