Description

Easy but unprotected climbing up a slab leads to a horizontal break and the first bolt about 30 feet up where the angle steepens and the difficulties begin.

A committing stand-up move getting to the 3rd bolt is memorable as are the thin crux moves just below the 4th bolt, which is a tough clip. Once past the 4th bolt the climbing eases considerably and it's a cruise to the top.

Climbing to the right of some bolts, as opposed to directly over them, may reduce the difficulty.

Decent climbing on this but the bolt placements are less than ideal and falling at several spots on this route are best avoided.

Location

Right side of the south face between
