Description

I don't always post link-ups but when I do they are awesome.

Start on Coffin Nail or Jensen's Jaunt, take JJ around the corner to the left and belay from a ledge about 20ft after turning the corner (End of 3rd pitch).

Down climb a touch and do a short traverse over a bush to an easy crack, the crack goes to a larger tree, belay just above the tree.

Traverse to the crack finish of Fingertrip, passing the "bonsai tree", then keep traverse down a ramp to a belay in the middle of The Trough.

From there angle up a bit for the start of Upper Royals Arch.

Start on URA then traverse left on hollow flakes to a ~12ft slab traverse to a right facing flake (finish of The Vampire).

Go straight up through a notch (5.9) to the finish.

Location

Start on the far right side of the west face, finish way left on the Vampire (5.9 finish).

Protection

Full rack, #4 C4 nice for turning the corner on Jensen's Jaunt.
