Description:

Bottom is sloped, easy climb but cam is easily placed. New first bolt begins the climb with a difficult pull past an open-book with new bolt to its left to protect crux move to third bolt needing high right foot. Move slightly right to reach ledge, clip fourth bolt to left and maybe take a rest if you can find a position. New fifth bolt is above thin dinner-plate flake offering solid grip to clip it. Sixth bolt to left on smooth face will be replaced, new seventh is up left on very rough top face which eats skin and ropes. Foot ledge for rings.

4 out of 5 stars led with the...

...first two bolts clipped. THe rock quality is pretty bad if you veer off the line at all. This route can stay somewhat sandy, but the moves are really fun.
