Description

From the Thompson book, 2017: "it climbs past the obvious hueco/cave which is often used by nesting owls. Please give the birds a break, and pick another route, unless you are absolutely certain they are not present." The rating in the Thompson book: 2 stars out of 4.

The route sets off on the deteriorating hill, just right of

Corner Pockets

. A slight cruxy start leads into a right-trending line with a gritty ledge to mantel. The "obvious hueco/cave" that the book mentions may have fallen off, because it's not really a cave but holds a somewhat loose flake that can be avoided.

Location

From the Thompson book, 2017: "this line is located roughly 25 paces to the left of

Blank Frank

, 10 paces right of the black dihedral on dark stone."

It's the next line right of

Corner Pockets

and starts on the deteriorating hill.

Protection

6 bolts.
