Description:

Classic climb with a great feeling of exposure for the region. Climb an open book off to the left of the boulder problem, Marty Broke It. Follow the open book left to a ceiling, traverse out left, and follow the crack to a ledge. Traverse the ledge left to a 2-bolt "leaning" belay. These bolts are 3/8" bomber SMC bolts and a fine. Back it up with a large cam in the horizontal crack above them, if you want. Great first pitch, with a definite sense of exposure and a nice belay. The second pitch is grungy with lots of loose rock. Rap off the chains.

4 out of 5 stars variation

Start to the left and go directly through the overhang and up the face above it for a fun 5.8. The first half, below the overhang, has good pro. On the face there is nothing for about 15' with the threat of a ground fall (I was top roping).
