Description
A long approach for a short climb. There are so many different ways to go up this face. Its a bit of a choose your own adventure if you want it to be. Jams and face holds take you up a couple block lengths. Traverse left slightly to avoid a short bit of offwidth if you wish. This moves you into easier terrain for a moment before finishing with an airy last few moves to the summit. Tricky pro and some loose rock along the way.
Location
this route is located on the north facing, checker-block-patterned side of the Thumb that one looks at as they descend from the summit of Hoffman.
Protection
doubles from .3 to 3" nuts optional. bring plenty of slings. At the summit there is one bolt with a quicklink backed up with a sling as of 9/17/2019 is available for those who wish to rap. This may seem sketchy to some. It may be helpful to bring one's own materials to leave behind to make a rap anchor.
