Description:

Begin directly under the first bolt and climb up to a second at a small right facing corner. From here, climb up to the right or follow the slick, mica filled corner straight up (5.9). Some seem to think it is runout above the second bolt but a bombproof stance keeps it safe. Stay left of the third bolt and move out onto the face with some interesting moves over a large piece of rock sticking out from the face. It is easiest just to straddle the rock. It is also an excellent spot to rest if needed. It may not seem so, but there are some excellent hand holds to get in position to clip the 4th bolt if you can find them. The original line was about two feet left of here and a bit more pumpy. You should continue up slightly left of the fourth bolt and on to easier rock up to the belay rings. Sport or top-rope.
