Description:

Climb up the left edge of the broad orange buttress above the vegatated terrace above the Grotto and west of the Java Wall. Climb the black streaked left edge of the buttress in the middle of the wall, passing interesting pockets to a final steep bulge. The route is steep and pumpy and "sucker holds" and sequential moves add to the pump.
