Description

Climb easy slab to a large shelf, then continue right around a block, up over an easy mantle and then follow the left-leaning corner up into an alcove, undercling around another block to the right, up and then left again to finish at the Street Fighter bolted anchors (has fixed steel carabiners for lower-off). Final move to bolted anchors likely harder than 5.5 rating, book says use gear belay in crack for belay from top.

Sparse gear on first half, especially getting above the first large shelf on smooth rock with no protection for an easy mantle move. 1 rusty old piton in a corner 2/3 the way up (don't use it, better pro nearby).

Location

Start is up thin crack on slab to the left of prominent black lichen streak below and to the right of the main arete feature on this wall.

Protection

Pro to 1.5", doubles of finger sizes
