Description:

Starts as crack to a roof, go right and up to a slabby section that feels pretty hard. The climb is on the east side, go uphill, climber's right of the fracture to a corridor that leads to a huge roof. The climb is on the right side of the corridor. "A fun mixture of crack and face that is more mental than physical. The first crux comes moving left around a roof (stay low and left). The second crux comes a few bolts up on the face. You can barely toprope this climb with a 60 meter rope but the belayer may need to walk up the gully a little ways." ~McNamara

4 out of 5 stars Morticia

Nice mix. McNamara says stay low and left around roof. Mike and I both went straight up and over, and still the crux seemed to be on the bulging part of the face.

3 out of 5 stars Wrong way at the roof

I went right instead of left. Looked easier, but then required a no-pro traverse back across the top of the roof and up to the first bolt on the slab
