Description:

About 200 feet right of a dirty corner system (Broken Hammer) is a rightward arching corner. Climb this to it's end, then up the face to a ledge. Then trend left across the face above to a right facing corner, go around to the left and up to the ledges and a bushwhack to the top.

Descent Options:

One 60m. rope makes it to the ground. Use of stopper knots is highly recommended.

3 out of 5 stars Boldville

either this is difficult for the grade or the heat was a major factor. I don't remember this climb being so tough. would say it's more like 5.8+ Got up okay but it was tough. also was close to 100 degrees. followed james

4 out of 5 stars be sure to do second pitch

the second 5.6+ pitch has a great rail out of spectacularly overhanging portion of the cliff. Don't miss it.

5 out of 5 stars only p1

lots of fun, after passing the low crux region. = )
used anchor about 10 feet above the obvious one (people were using that anchor for TR). the anchor was three knots in slings- the knots used as stoppers. pretty exciting to rap off that! backed it up to bring up the second.
