A truly amazing problem that mostly follows the left edge of the prominent white streak. Start the same as the Middle Path but after a couple moves cut left through the white streak using a wide pocket (crux). Continue on excellent pockets in the black lichen and then wander up and right to finish on the juggy lip at the top of the white streak. Super deep and incut pockets through the upper half, but maintains that slight overhang all the way to the end. Heroic.

Black & White

Not Too Steep

Mail Slot

North Crack

Black Seam

Middle Path

Arete Into Face

Climb the arete to a sloping shelf at 10 ft. Move right to some good pockets and then continue straight up the overhanging face. Plenty of solid incut pockets to choose from in the upper section but it feels slightly more heads up than Black & White.

Climbing straight up the arete is an extremely bold V3.

About 10 or 12 feet right of "Mail Slot", there is a nice pocketed face. Not as steep as previous routes, but fun.

Begin about 8 feet right of "Black Seam" at the mail slot that is about 3 inches tall and 8 inches wide. Climb generally straight up. Fun. Steep starting moves.

A striking feature that climbs really well. Start off the slab on the left to reach the juggy horizontal crack. Make a couple thin moves getting to where the seam opens up, then finish up the crack on finger jams and better holds. The crux is down low and has a safe fall, but don't blow it up higher or you might hit the slab on the left.

10 feet right of "middle path", there is a seam of sorts. Climb up this and finish just a foot or so to the right.

This is the "path of least resistance" up the center of the wall. Begin at a big "block" of sorts and climb up and right. The crux is pretty low down and then it's got a big juggy hole and some shelves which make the upper section feel chill. The angle eases off higher up too. The last move pulling over the top can feel a little less secure, but no harder than 5.7. A good one to get warmed up on for slightly harder and steeper problems to the left.
