Not a great route but a decent warm up; climb past a somewhat sketchy wedged flake and follow a broken crack to a ledge. Leave the ledge, climbing a corner crack with various jams past some more questionable rock to a big ledge and chain anchors.

For such a short route this thing packs a punch. Wedge yourself into the shallow chimney and jam and grovel your way up. Theres a nice crack in the back which starts as thin hands and pinches down to tips as the chimney pinches shut. Exit the chimney onto a small ledge with chain anchors.

A nice erratic splitter crack with pretty good rock. Climb a a couple of body lengths of tips, features appear keeping the climbing moderate. Move through an offset section of off-fingers which quickly turns to a long section of mostly hands before becoming offset and pinching down to fingers again. Chain anchors.

The route follows a left-facing mostly hands corner for about 40 feet to a ledge with stacked blocks and a two-bolt anchor. There is a short wide pod in the middle of the corner. Sporty moves on fractured rock lead to the summit, then downclimb back to the ledge with bolted anchor. Expect 5.10 moves both in the crack and above the bolts.

The FA was on Martin Luther King Day (1/18) 2016.
