Description:

The Bender-Axen pitch starts about 20 feet right of the toe of the buttress where the bolted Chiboni is located. The start is vertical with thin smear moves to the crack about 15 ft; get a spot from your partner. Yellow alien is a bomber first piece. Enjoy the great crack climbing up to large pine tree for the first belay ledge. Crux move on the second pitch of Black Quacker turning the boulder roof... fun stuff. Then great climbing on chicken heads to the top. Decent walk off, scramble the back side on the left.

Slipped off a couple of times at the start (very slabby) got up about 6 feet and then finished with no problem up the crack.
