Description:

Start up face buckets behind a large horizontally growing bush to join a right-veering crack, just before it straightens vertical and passes through two large concavities with bulgy exits on finger cranking.

Descent Options:

Rap. Or walk-off to climber's right with a sketchy downclimb move or two.

4 out of 5 stars _

A bit tricky with an awkwardish crux for me. The bolts were up there when I climbed it but one was sticking halfway out (gulp!)
