Description

Start in a wide crack that you can protect well and stem up to avoid potential loose rock. From the main ledge place good gear in the north facing crack system and pull a bulge to access a nice right leaning hand crack that leads to mellow face climbing. A few 5.9 moves and some careful movement to avoid loose rock. We cleaned some, but not all of the rocks off (dogs below). Rock quality for gear is great, just watch what you step on and pull on!

Two bolt anchor with quick links and biners THAT ARE NOT BOOTY.

Location

Upslope from Proto Pipe, this route goes up the prominent crack system to a ledge and then up the north facing crack-face system to end up higher than the top of Proto Pipe on a narrow top.

Protection

Doubles to #3 would be safe, though you'll likely use much less. 6-8 longer draws.
