Description
This is an old toprope line that recently saw a free lead ascent. Multiple, interesting cruxes and fantastic orange overhanging rock make this line definitely worth putting a toprope on, at least!
Start the same as for Broken Sling, and climb to just the before the pitch 1 belay, then traverse out left on a hanging slab to access the left-facing corner, which is to the right of Squat Thrust's corner.
Climb the left-facing corner to a roof, and continue straight up the corner/crack system to another roof, and pass it on the right. Move up to a great juggy horizontal and then climb through another easier roof just below and left of a small pitch pine tree. Climb easier ground to the top of the cliff.
Location
Starts at Broken Sling.
Protection
It's best to do this line as one long pitch, due to the multiple questionable gear sections -- one being right off the hanging slab.
To set up for a top rope, a static line and directionals are needed.
