Description

A bulging, blunt arete leads past 3 bolts on dicey edges. If you opt to start in the crack to the left, the overall climb is probably a 5.9. Starting on the arete to the first bolt comprises the 11a move. At the third bolt, move left for an exciting 5.9 crux on slopers, then leading to a wide gear crack (#3 and #4 here). Continue on jugs past another bolt. Merge right to the tree above "Octopussy".

Location

On the ledge 30 feet right of French Feline. At the start, either stick clip or use the left crack to protect the opening moves (there is a 50 foot drop behind which could be a first pitch in itself but it is dirty)

Protection

4 bolts, #2,3,4 cams.
