Description

This is high on West Ridge in Eldo, just south of Rincon Wall. Start just left of

Chockstone

in a big left-facing dihedral.

P1: Climb 60 feet and traverse left with tricky but good holds/flakes, climb up over bulging slot (crux) and take the V-slot another 50 feet up steep terrain to tree and belay (can continue to anchors but rope drag exists).

P2: Take finger/hand crack straight up easier (5.5) terrain to large anchor tree.

Eds.

P3 can be taken to the walkoff ledge.

Rappel 160 feet to ground or [be very careful!] 100 feet to top of

Chockstone

(10a) and then another 60 feet to the ground from there.

Protection

Stoppers and a good selection of cams.
