Description
This quality line climbs a series of cracks and is predominantly a face climb protected by gear and an occasional fixed piece. Climb up to a rust-colored bolt about 20 feet above the ledge and then a series of zig-zagging cracks via a somewhat wandering line. A fixed pin at about half height is found and the crux comes near the end, protected by a fixed head and a buttonhead bolt. Above, finish on easy terrain to a two bolt anchor on a small ledge with jagged flakes.
If you're rapping

with one rope, this route's anchor is your second rappel, making it easy to set a TR after having climbed

.
