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

Nice mixed route
Easy crack leads to the roof where there are several abandoned small nuts. Roof is not bad at all, I went left and It worked out for me. The face part had good knobs for almost every move

Nice
A really easy crack leads to a small roof which is easy to negociate with bomber gear. Above that is a slab with decent knobs and bolts about every 8 to 10 feet with the crux bolts being about 4ft apart. Not run out in any way and a great lead for someone wanting to break into more traditional face climbing.

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.
