Climb past right facing flake and step right above a roof to follow right facing flake to it's end, then up low angle arete to the top.

Descent Options:

Has new bolt/ring anchors. Rap to ground. 60m will get down with a few feet to spare.

4 out of 5 stars Super-fun

two crux. First is down low and a more delicate than the more physical layback up top. Easier climbing with good rests in between.

5 out of 5 stars excellent line

Great, safe lead, easy for the grade. Interesting moves. Needs pink tricam or medium cam for the crux - 20 feet up.
