Easy start leads to harder climbing, with small hands and feet. The second bolt protects the crux. Then, easy climbing from the large ledge to the anchor.

An easy start leads to small crimps and small feet higher up.

Start on the right side of the slab, about 5-10 feet to the left of the bottom part of the large flake that defines the right side of the slab. Climb straight up to the first bolt, then head slightly right to just below the overhanging part of the flake. Move around the left side of the overhanging flake. There are good underclings here. Then there are good cam placements at upper part of the overhanging flake just after it starts curving to the right. Easy climbing once past the flake but additional gear placements are available if needed. There is also a short 5.8 trad variation that goes up the right side of the big flake (1

to 2”

cams).
