Description
Note that I only TR'd this climb, if someone who has led it wants to update the description contact an admin.
Pitch 1, 5.12a PG13 140 feet Head up 5.10 face climbing to a bolt and a fixed pin. Here things get hard, stem and layback your way up the thin seam (guide mentions pre-placing rp's to protect this section) to reach the stellar finger crack above. Jam up the finger crack to a small stembox and roof. Pull roof, second crux and more small pro. Head up on easier ground with great jams to a short left facing dihedral and the anchors shared with rawhide.
Possible to traverse right at the roof to join Rawhide for an easier variation.
Pitch 2, 5.9 150 feet, Shared with Rawhide Head slightly left off the belay and climb a nice finger and hand crack up through a slightly tricky section, to easy low angle climbing to the anchor, there is an occasional 5.7 move or so.
For a nice finish head up the Great Escape to top out.
Location
Start 10 feet left of Rawhide below a bolt and a fixed pin.
Protection
Many small cams, RP's and small nuts up to #2 camelot.
