P3. Walk left to an easy slab that steepens into 5.9 on superb edges. Thrutch up an awkward, offwidth boulder problem, then walk 60 feet of 3rd Class past a tree, 5.9 PG-13, ~200’.

P4. Climb 80’ of 5.8 to an exposed 5.10. Highstep out of an offwidth, 5.10c , 200’.

P5. Chimney and bushwhack up some of the finest flora The Black has to offer, 5.8, 200’.

P6. Pull one last chimney, then climb easier terrain to the Painted Wall Overlook.

Location

Descend SOFB raps, looking for a tower in the middle of the gully. The route starts just downhill of the tower. You'll see an old fixed line a hundred feet climber's left of the route. The long 5.8 handcrack into the offwidth slot is visible from the base.

Protection

No big gear is needed.
