Resolution

face climbs by first starting up the corner. Traverse out left for a clip after 15 feet and head up on good edges to a crack system and a clip just before the cracks. The rational climber may elect to fire in a #3 Camalot above the second clip, or just grab the good jams and suck in a small amount of air. The anchor is over a ledge and out of sight. This is not a great route, but the stone is solid.

Protection

Bring a couple of draws, a mid-size camming device, and a rope. There is a double bolt anchor at the top.

As of 2007, it has been retrobolted to be 6 bolts and does not require gear.
