Description

Start on a ledge above the talus field in the gully. The moves to the first bolt are kind of balancy. Getting to and clipping the second bolt is a bit reachy, and you don’t want to fall before clipping the second bolt.

Once the second bolt is clipped the real business begins. A couple of pockets that force you right, a jug or two, sidepulls, and hidden holds make for an interesting sequence to the third bolt. Good feet at this point allow a quick rest before committing to the moves to get over a bulge to the fourth bolt. After the fourth bolt, it is easy climbing to the chains.

Location

The right of the two bolted routes in the black streaks on the east wall of the gully.

Protection

4 bolts, chain anchors (shared with

Thunderstruck

to the left).
