Description

Crux is the 1st 10 feet. Use a painful pinky eater, some edges, a lieback, and a high step to overcome the crux. The rest of the climb is exponentially easier, but bring your crack climbing repertoire. PG13 if you don't protect the roof down low (~6' fall to the ground), major rope drag if you use protection. Aiding the crux will change the grade to 5.4 (C1). Alternatively, can traverse in from Jugular Vein (5.9).

Location

Starts on the right side under the same overhang as Jugular Vein. I left anchors to rap from or walk off like the first ascensionists.

Protection

Bring wide stuff (5") or run it out!
