Description:

Crank through the start of Judas, then head right on "feets don't fail me now" friction moves. Continue past the second bolt of the traverse where there is nothing but a blank slab to work with. Delicate smearing will get you through if you are able to avoid the patches of crispy rock on this seldom traveled pitch. Beyond the second bolt, the climbing eases considerably.
