Description:

Start up by traversing a set of large dikes to the left and around the buttress from Vanishing Point. Move out left into the obvious corner and up until you come out on a shelf about 180 ft up. Belay here and then continue picking your way up through a bowl and up to a nice ledge. The third pitch goes up right or left to the top. Right is easier but with less pro, Left is slightly harder, a lot cleaner and a bit more exposed and protected. You can also go left at the top of the first pitch to the anchors of April Fools and make two raps with a 60m rope to the ground.

2 out of 5 stars Easy

Its all over after you pull the first few moves into the groove/chimney. Excelent way to get to the top of April fools to set up a TR. Bring long slings for that.
