Description

Climb the water runnel where the slab gets steeper. Here, you can place small gear to protect moves out right on good holds. Continue upwards on easy ground to the base of two crack systems. Here, you can pick one of two options:

  1. The left parallel cracks in the dihedral climb at 5.6 and appear to be what is described in Bingham's book (although the picture shows the route taking the right crack)

  2. The right splitter hand crack can be climbed at ~5.8

Build an anchor at the top of your crack system of choice, then walk off to the Beeline chains to rappel.

An alternative start includes clipping the first two bolts of Beeline to protect the initial runout before moving right across the water runnel.
