Description:

Pitch one climbs an easy flare to a menacing chimney roof. Well protected, it can be stemmed around much easier than it looks. Continue to a small belay ledge below a splitter 1.5in strait in crack. Pitch 2 climbs that splitter crack to a tree. Most parties opt to continue up the next pitch to a spacious belay ledge to save time and comfort. From the tree, climb a beautiful left facing corner with liebacks and perfect jams. Pitch 3 climbs a series of easily protected chimneys to the top.

Descent Options:

Walk off to the climbers left.

Variations were wet, but the regular route was good fun.
