Description

Located on the right side of the wall, start by climbing from the left side of the boulder to the right.  A direct start, while interesting involves strenuous laybacking to rounded holds and a mantle.  Work up the crack using jugs, small feet, and huacos.  Plan on placing extra gear to avoid hitting the ledge. Make strenuous and awkward moves left to gain a nice crack, poor feet on crumbly rock.  Climb up to the first bolt (at 30 feet) continuing on thin face to the final bolt. Move directly left to gain a crack and follow this around a bulge, placing gear and managing rope drag as you go.  Look right to locate the anchor above the bulge.

This route shares the anchors with

to its left. The crux is the diagonal starting crack which is some what committing due to the poor feet. Follow a handful bolts and gear placements to chain anchors.
