Description:

A brilliant line and a must do. Every pitch is fantastic. Begin this climb where a small roof is just off the deck. Climb up to the roof and clip a bad Knife Blade hammered straight up (maybe gone - it is gone). Then head right to a bolt. This is the scariest part of the climb. The second pitch is brilliant as you climb the corner, arete, and face for about 90 feet. The third pitch is a short 5.8. The fourth pitch is also brilliant and climbs a long thin hands and hands corner over several tiny roofs. The last pitch is alos easy. (this climb can be done as 3 pitchs with a 60m rope. First pitch is a ful 60m and second pitch requires 5m of simul climbing)

5 out of 5 stars Sustained Fun

First pitch is the scariest, in my opinion. There were some fixed nuts in the thin parts.

5 out of 5 stars Fun

Climbed it in three pitches. First pitch past the crux to a small ledge, second pitch in one long 60m pitch to a good ledge above a block and third pitch directly up to the top staying left over the bulge instead of going out right where everyone else goes.
