Description

This is a continuation of beatin’ bush on your way up to exit and entrance domes! But because of the belay reset idk I think it’s almost it own route…? And it’s definitely better then bush whacking! Actually because of the rock quality it’s much better then whacking! Start in the wash with a chimney in front of you and what looks like a hand crack above the chimney.Get to the crack above the chimney, which in the start is kinda of a dihedral! The gear will come and go as the dihedral flattens to a face… knowing the face means a lack of pro… get some good pro! I have gone a bit to the right to get that last piece others Forage onward! Either way the rock gets pretty great here thankfully and you pull a bulge or maybe a small roof heading hard left. Above thankfully you get a piece! Seeing the two bolts above, head into the dark black rock with wonderful edges! The second bolt protects a roof which is super fun! And pull another roof! Once on top of the dome there is a two bolt anchor out right but also you can build a anchor with two 4’s directly above the line
