Description:
Shares the same start as Rectum Wrecker just left of the recessed/cutout part of the wall. Follow a blocky start with sparse but adequate pro to a rightward traverse underneath a large roof. Undercling and jam the traverse for 40 feet and setup a gear belay in a corner. Step left from the belay and into the left facing dihedral and follow it up to a roof section. Traverse left and then trend back right through a weakness in the roofs; belay at bolts.Descent Options:
A single 60 meter rope rappel will just make the easily downclimbable ledge 20 feet from the ground.

Heady for the grade
The traverse on pitch 1 will make you think twice; there was a bail biner that looked like it had been used to avoid the airy traverse. Just remember that it eats gear and is fun when you get into it. Has a lot to do for 5.8....
