Sit Start below the face on good holds. Pull up and climb a mixture of jugs and good crimps to an easy top out.

Start sitting at the base of the crack, put your left hand in the crack and right on a face crimp. Start with both feet in the crack, pull up moving you right hand up into the crack and work up the crack. Lift you left foot and heel hook the small rail just left of the crack, then pop up to better holds and finish up the crack. This part is extremely dirty and I will try to clean it up next time I am out there.

This is a cluster of bigger boulders in comparison to the first cluster of boulders reached upon the approach. This area has a lot of potential for additional problems, but most of the boulders need a good thorough cleaning. This area is easily recognizable by a tall arete located just off of the right side of the trail.
