Description
On the first ascent we climbed the route in three pitches, but with the discovery of an approachable ledge in the middle of pitch one we believe the route can be climbed in two. this is a very fun adventure route and unique summit.P1: Begin on the southern toe of the formation and locate an awkward flared flake. Climb the terribly awkward bulging flake to wide flake above. Climb this flake to the top and place small gear high in the seam above you. Commit to the face out right and climb the face to an obvious crack out right. Follow the crack to the wide slot above, from the top of the wide slot head right up the wide tube. At the top of the wide tube build an anchor on the large ledge.P2: From the ledge stem up the trough climbing past large chicken heads to another ledge, from this ledge commit to the right side of the green face that takes you below the summit block. Place a nest of gear then make VERY exciting moves on SE to S face of the summit block.Descent: bring cord or NSR
