Description:

Get to Baseline Ledge as for St. Vitus Dance. Head left at Baseline Ledge to get to a small platform with bolted ancohors. p1: Follow the double crackline up, then traverse to the left to a new crackline when it appears. Belay at the base of the new crack in a small scoop. 5.6 p2: Follow the new crack up and over a bulge. Belay where comfortable. 5.8 p3: Up the crack then a bit of rightwards traversing on slabs and broken features. A two bolt anchor is here, but could easily be missed. Many good spots for a trad achor are available. 5.7 Scamble up to Broadway ledge, but you'll probably still want to be roped up for this pitch. 4th-low 5th. Up to Broadway Ledge, then down the walk off to the South. Some sketchy bits here, that some people will wan to rope up for.
