Description

In the alcove to the right (south) around the corner from the other unknown routes, there are two short bolted slab climbs. This is the RIGHT one, next to the hand crack/corner.

The bolting seems to try to force you to climb the slab directly, without stemming across the dihedral to the right wall or using the obvious hand/fist crack in the corner. Doing so is possible (and significantly increases the grade), but isn't worth the reward to do so. Instead, it climbs as a dirt filled hand/fist crack from which you reach out to clip the bolts.

Location

Following the typical approach trail to the Hantavirus cave, take a right (south) when the trail hits the wall and follow it for about 5 minutes. You will reach a sort of bowl with nicely built up belay ledges. From here, take another switchback out right around the corner to a small alcove with two short slab routes. This marks the southern extent of the trail.

This is the RIGHT of the two parallel routes in this alcove.

Protection

3 bolts + chains.
