Pitch 1: A2: 80’

of thin nailing to two bolt anchor below a small roof. Anchor visible from the base of the route.

Pitch 2: A2+: 120’

of thin nailing continuing up the continuously thin feature

Pitch 3: A2+: 200’

move right and down from the belay to move around a corner on easy free moves to a full rope length of thin to wide climbing finishing with an intricate and discontinuous beak system to reach the belay in the center of the wall.

Pitch 4: A2: 120’

Move right from the belay to reach a rivet via beaks in a bottoming and loose crack, tension around a corner to establish yourself on hooks to make a traverse (protectable with hidden arrow placements) to a laser-cut arrow corner that allows you to reach over to a perfect hand crack on the opposite wall. Follow this to a slanting ledge before moving through a gently overhanging and loose groove to anchor.

Pitch 5: A1: 200’

Continue up dirty climbing through a few ledges, carefully avoiding a precarious stack of loose blocks towards the top of the pitch.

Pitch 6: A2+: 120’

Move left to establish yourself in a left-facing corner system taking cams, thin pitons, and heads to a hooking traverse along a flake system to the anchors.

Pitch 7: 5.7 C1: 130’

of steep hands to fist before establishing yourself in a chimney system requiring mandatory free climbing to reach the belay cave at the end of the pitch.

Pitch 8: C1: 110’

Move to back of the cave and climb out the back up easy aid to blocky climbing to the anchors.
