Description:
You should be a solid 5.8 leader to do this line, and very comfortable with less than ideal rock and protection.The left end of the first major tower ends in a lower, squared-off buttress that forms a distinct left-facing corner. Access this corner via a short boulder face into the dihedral and follow to belay/stance below the clean arete. Climb straight up the face using shoulder slings to protect the chickenheads, or move right around the corner onto rotten rock, traversing a narrow ledge to finally get gear in a crack splitting the formation up to a notch with a chockstone, right of anchors.
Descent Options:
Lower or rap from anchors.

Ascent Note
Used right exit across the face... definitely "engaging". Recommend trying the end of the arete.. more airy but much more solid. Awesome position and nice line.
