Description

Start as for Almost Cut My Hair, surmount the large ledge, get a few good pieces of good gear here, then traverse the obvious crack slanting up and left under the roof of Militant Right. Continue on the crack system moving left. Above Militant Left, you get your last piece of protection, but continue up the crack left (crux) and surmount another ledge. Here, there is 5.7 climbing to the top of the cliff, but you have run out your gear about 30 feet (the cliff is only 35 feet tall and a fall here would no doubt result in a deck). Top out the cliff above the wave, and walk off the back.

This sounds much more contrived than it feels! It is fun climbing as you are moving up during the entire traverse.

Location

Start as for Almost Cut My Hair.

Protection

Some small C3s are good under the roof, and another couple hand-size cams will work well after the roof.
