It's Flakey

Description

In the corner of the Falls Wall directly above the Buoux Block is the climb. The lower section is hard to protect with the crux being getting to the large pocket and thus the flake. The flake above (easier) is very aestetic and takes a few good cams. Lieback on the flake as much as you want! The start I took is the feature on the far right that is shaded. The crux is getting to the big pocket (left of the tree) The flake is hidden in this pic but obvious from any other angle.

Protection

The bottom is tricky to protect. I used a large nut in a constricting crack/pocket. The upper flake takes some small to medium cams. Setting up an anchor is ploblematic. I used the bolts to the N with a good directional.
