Description

P1. Slabby and a tad gravelly and there's a 5.10c traverse left about halfway with a nasty runout.

P2. Head up then traverse to get above the overhanging wall to the right. The second pitch is about 5.8 and is totally classic involving exposed steep face climbing on those ubiquitous knobs. This pitch more than makes up for the nervy and less than perfect first pitch.

Location

Looking up there's a very steep section of this wall, start on the slab left of this, and on pitch two head up past the steepening then traverse right to get onto the less steep wall above it. See this

Purgatory wall.

.

Protection

Bolts, can't remember how many and probably not very new. Two bolt anchors at the end of each pitch.
