Description:

This follows a flake system on south face. Easy climbing at beginnning. Some awkward moves through undercling and layback moves to a wider crack with not much for feet. It gets easier as knobs appear on face. Climb to top of flake system and set belay. Second pitch moves left to crack with features. You can get pro in cracka dn tie off a knob or two. First move past crack is most difficult. Rap anchors at top to descend. Use the ones further back. The anchors at the top of the climb will not reach.

3 out of 5 stars Just ok

For some reason, didn't really enjoy this one at all.
Crack at the top was hard to protect (I don't think I had any big pro) so I just ran it out, it was pretty easy.
