Description

This is a fun climb on mostly good rock that is fairly thin & powerful for the grade.

Begin with an easy mantle onto a spooky perched block above the low ledge (careful not to pull this block off the ledge). Hike up several more tiered ledges and precarious blocks to a stance below the clean wall. Make sure your belayer is watching as you step onto the instantly cruxy panel. A sustained section of sequential pockets & crimps leads past several bolts to a horizontal break. Cruise easier spikey rock to the anchor.

Location

10' left of the shared start of "

New Ethics

" & "

Midget Toss"

, begin directly behind the 15' juniper pine south of the trail.

Protection

~7 bolts, 2BA. Stick clip recommended.
