Description:

At the top of the cliff and looking at the ocean move left until your path is blocked by an seemingly sheer secion that drops off into the ocean. Here move around a large block to find the 2 bolt anchor. Rap down and set a bely partway upa mellow, sloping corner (hand and fist sized cams). 'Morning Glory' begins up this corner until it becomes broken then follows two bolts up the face. Keep heading for a third bolt, then move left toward the arete. A beautiful climb, but not for unseasoned leaders.

Alternate rappel. Furhter down from the MG anchors is a set of ring bolts, even more well hidden, these drop you directly onto a small pedestal that you can move off and to the right for the MG belay.

Great route, even better setting. Watch out for the KILLER man eating flying parasites. Full body armour would have been nice. My only gripe is that it's over way to quick.
