Description:

Climb the nice crack just right of Betty to a ledge. Climb up the corner, then hand traverse right to the face right of the Betty Chimney and up to a small tree on the GT ledge. Climb up slightly runout rock (tricams useful) to a bolt at the overhang. Traverse right a bit, then up to the top.

4 out of 5 stars Did all pitches today

P3 is interesting for a shorty. Have to really reach to get to the jug before the bolt. The roof is fun and juggy.

5 out of 5 stars great climb

I am so stretched out on the traverse. It would help to be a smidge taller!

5 out of 5 stars I love this climb

P1/P2 (especially P2) are so much fun. I think this is a great, burly, well protected climb (P3 not withstanding)
