Description:
Starts next to Wet Kiss up obvious large crack system to smaller corner crack system. The book Topo shows two bolts on the slabby face, for a 5.9- runout, or opt for the easily protected crack which also goes at about 5.9+with good placements and stemming. This leads to an awesome roof traverse (5.10a/b) which takes gear like a champ; use runners here and the top of the crack or risk horrendous rope drag later. After traversing the roof, run it out to the top, anouther 40' or so on large blocks, about 5.6ish... where three bolts await. A great climb for the steel witted or for any follower.Descent Options:
