Description
Face climbing followed by stemming on less-than-vertical terrain, followed by some exciting stemming under an overhang (it's hard to call it a roof because it is so rounded.) The chains are just above the overhang.
There is a fair amount of loose material on this route and we liberated several baseball-sized stones as well as a number of marble-sized pieces. The loosest section is runout about fifteen feet; fortunately the climbing through the section is fairly easy stemming. The only anxiety arises from looking down between your legs and thinking that you're getting kind of far from the previous bolt.
Location
This climbs an obvious, shallow trough to an overhang. Above and behind the overhang a deep crevice continues. This is located shortly before the outside corner in the wall, beyond which are constructed terraces.
Protection
9 bolts to chain anchors with cord backup. The last bolt is non-obvious; it is on the left side of the overhang near the top.
