Description:

Excellent face dike climb 15 feet right of the line. Bolt anchors. this description is just for the first pitch. Although there are pitches above, damn near nobody does them, due to (very) sketchy pro and tough climbing. First pitch 10a, others rated like 5.11z (R-X)or something. The first bolt is pretty high without a great hold for clipping if you are less than six feet tall. Two ropes to rap off.

4 out of 5 stars mantle, reach (or not) and repeat

I had P1 of this route on my tick list for a while, and I really enjoyed it. The crux in the middle of the route was very reachy and committing for me I would guess 10c (I'm 5.9 with short wingspan). First bolt is high up so do not fall. The rest is pretty secure although run out in a couple of places. Stay away if you are not comfortable with run outs. It is possible to rap with two 40m ropes (or a single 80m). A 70 will not be enough to get you all the way down.

4 out of 5 stars good climb

good climb, all bolts, wouldn't call it well protected but everything's there when you need it. techy crux if you're as shorter than 6 feet. had to jump. first bolt gets a bit gamey.
