Bail Out

This would be classic if it topped out.

To the far right of the Balanced Rock find the sharp arête corner.

High step onto the low lip and use a left hand, high crimp on the face to pull onto the wall with your right hand side-puling the arête corner (my arms couldn’t reach off the ground so I had to hop onto the face to use the arête).

Work up to the high iron crimp, and then negotiate to the iron slot crimp left of the big jug break high on the face.

Match the jug break and then bail out to the right to step off the wall.

Note: the highball upper face looks like fragile sandstone, please do not attempt to climb further.)
