Thin slab moves past a bolt gain a small roof (gear to 2") and then onto a sloping ledge above. Leaving the ledge involves thin, vertical edges which reach a stance below the finishing headwall where thin, balancy and sometimes insecure moves (crux) finally relent just below the anchors.

A suberb climb packed with technical moves that requires a variety of techniques to succeed.

A short section of vertical face quickly kicks back to a slab. Higher the wall steepens again, and a mantle gains a small ledge before finishing up an exposed arete to anchors on the shoulder of the formation.

Fun moves throughout it's length with a nice variety of moves and good positioning in the upper crux section.

Thin slab moves past a bolt (crux) reach the roof where a slanting crack provides passage above onto the right edge of a large ledge. Step right and climb the hand/fist crack that splits the formation to a bolted anchor.

Decent climbing but somewhat thrutchy in the crack, and not as fun as some of the other climbs on the wall.

Easy moves up a left-facing flake (optional pro to 2") lead to a bolt about 15' up at the lip of a small overhang. Pull the overhang on good holds and then climb fun face to a ledge. Balancy moves off the ledge is the second crux and gives access to a prominent left-slanting dike system which is followed to anchors at the summit of the formation.

Fun climbing throughout with good protection and sweeping views from the top of the climb.
