Description

Pitch 1 (5.11+): 2 bolt slab start to steeper and more protected cruxy moves to a rest, then jam up a sparsely bolted crack (bring gear from .4-4 if you want to sew it up or skip the bolts) to a ledge and chains. Pitch 2: 5.10 warmup crack to a v6 boulder problem through the bulge, finishing with steep face moves to the chains.

Location

This route is on the next buttress upstream from the Rest Home but uses the same parking area. Look up and see the crack line going through two tiers of rock. The approach starts at a pine tree a hundred or so feet up the road from the parking lot, takes 15 minutes or so.

Protection

12 draws, 70m rope, tape or jammies. I decided to bolt the crack to avoid the rack, flared cams, and soft rock. Climb it, and be the judge.
