Description

Climb large edges to a single bolt about 20' off the ground, pull the crux, and then wander upwards to a ledge where you can get some gear (1.5") before under-clinging left along a gaping flake - this is where

Switchbacks

comes in from the left - continue up that route to it's belay under a small arch.

Location

Center of Flintstone Slab, about 50' right of

bolt (3/8"), gear to 3"
