Description

One-and-a-half-move wonder.

Exit gully onto ramp up Left - to about 10ft L below first bolt of the route "

Left Slab - Near Left Gully

;. Stand up onto 1-ft-wide toothy flake.

Pull over left-trending diagonal outside corner (1st move, crux). Next diagonal up Left (and perhaps traverse) to reach platform at base of short narrow V gully.

Step Right from the gully, and instead move up onto arete that forms its R side (2nd move, not as hard). Finish to 2-bolt anchor for the route "

warning

: The rock in this sector has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

FA first ascent? The listing of a Top-Rope first ascent does not imply that top-roping is the "appropriate" style for this route. If some party bolts this route and leads it

and

supplies a careful description of the size and metal-composition of the bolts and hangers - (by posting an Improve This Page or a Comment below) -- they wlll be given first-rank FA on this page. Also they can supply their own name for the climb (which is why currently this route has a "generic" name, awaiting installation of hardware).
