Description

Excellent hard climbing. Admittedly, getting off the ground is significantly harder than 5.9 (especially if you are under 6'1"), but you can cheat this by walking a bit farther right and railing back left along the ledge's edge. Make a very difficult move to reach/get ahold of the ledge, then mantle up and into the right-facing corner. Climb this to its end at a horizontal crack. Traverse right 2m around a small, right-facing corner onto a smooth, steep slab. The next few moves are difficult and require a small cam or large microcam to protect. There is only one available slot, while good, it's a big reach to plug it in. Difficult friction reaches a good horizontal with a short chimney above it. Climb the chimney or the block on its right side to a fixed tree anchor.

Location

Near the right end of the wall, below a right-facing corner which begins at a ledge 3m up.

Protection

Standard Adk. Rack, there is a critical small cam placement after traversing right at the top of the first right-facing corner.
