Description

This steep face climb features large flat holds, a tight finger-lock pocket, and lots of tensiony movement.

Sit start on a dimpled, triangular sloper. Make a big move to the next shelf, then reach up to a terrible edge, get your feet figured out and stab for a very narrow, slanting mailbox slot. Find the sweet spot on a sloper rail, and toss out right for a better hold in the break.

FYI- Heel hooks and toe hooks are very helpful on this problem. Also, try not to hang on the slot too many times or you will bleed. It's more of a finger jam than a hold.

Location

On the right side of the North face. Just left of a small left facing feature.

Protection

At least two pads.
