Description

Starts 30 or so feet to the left of

Lower Right Ski Track

. A step-off move from a boulder (bolt protected) starts the climb, followed by a beguiling, 5.11 face balance crux. There is a runout mantle and 5.9 moves to reach the second bolt: beware. Above, tricky face climbing past bolts and a piton gains the roof. After a slight traverse rightward, acrobatic moves climb past the roof and onto the face above, moving right to join Lower Right Ski Track and the beginning of Upper Right Ski Track.

Location

Left of Lower Right Ski Track, right of Left Ski Track; start atop boulder resting against wall.

Protection

4 bolts, 1 pin; cams for the end. Bring a couple of cams for the finish; it is possible to either belay at the top of Lower Right Ski Track or continue to the top via Upper Right Ski Track. If the former option is chosen, an easy but exposed walk-off is possible. Otherwise, rappel from the rap station atop North Overhang WITH A 60 M ROPE. Then descend via the aforementioned exposed but easy walk-off.
