Description:

Although a bolt is nearby for the crux move above the "S", most of the route is way run-out. Keep a cool head and keep moving and whatever you do - don't fall on this one. The route can be done in one long 200 foot pitch or in two pitches. Basically start on the face below the large S shaped dike and climb up and into the S. From the S move up and right and then back left and up and over a small overlap to the top of the slab. Good rock quality and mind blowing exposure makes this route an all-time favorite. F.A.
