Description:
Pass the bulge on the left, or tackle it head on for a couple extra grades of fun. Easy traverse right to big vertical crack; layback up the crack to some fun face climbing on incut holds to the top. Probably at the high of end of 5.9, and I would have given it a 5.9+ if this site supported that.Descent Options:
Rap off or 4th class traverse left and walk off.

Just put a few draws in to guide the rope a little better and top roped it. It was fun certainly harder than its 5.9 neighbor. Crux seems like its right at the bottom.

Forbidden City [2]
This is the "full meal deal" in four tasty bites. 1. delicate slab 2. burly bulge [good rest] 3. tricky crack [another good rest] 4. steeeep face .......one of my faves.
