Description:
The first couple of moves are delicate smears. They're probably harder that the grade the guide gives. But it's only ~10' and bailing is a safe jump. After you slot a large cam, the sustained splitter crack meanders along the face. You'll probably do lots of finger and hand jams. But the face is ~60 degrees so tape gloves aren't necessary. The crack takes pro like a champ. And there's a ledge for the anchor. You can also scrable up the side and set up a TR. The guide gives this a star.Descent Options:
Walk off the side. No anchor. Easy walk off

hard start no need for big pieces
The start is very thin but once at the undercling can safely protect at the vertical crack.

Ugly little climb
I think it's a lot harder than the guide book promised. But then, I suck at slab climbing.

Bolts up top have been chopped. Doesn't matter - bomber cams to set up a toprope.
