An overhanging small crimp face just above ground level when properly traversed rightward leads to a more obvious line of holds above.

Avoiding the Stix

Coins to Cross the Stix

Proceed up a series of ledges that look unlikely to have an easy connecting line to a shallow right facing corner.  Finish using some holds to right and then back left.

A somewhat overhanging gully-like emergence of 2 angled faces that may appear more like a crack climb but the somewhat undetectable holds when viewing the route form the ground make for a difficult onsight.

This route was done before Coins to cross the Stix but has the same great start and moves on the overhanging almost corner like face/bulge but about half way up exits left but not enough to use the large crack for finishing.

Some stemming will get you onto the overhanging bulge that has big holds and long reaches. The last portion of the climb crosses into the territory of coin sized holds and is more at arete climbing.
