Description

Start in a left-facing corner and traverse left to clip the first two long fixed draws (currently have green cord). Head up steep juggy roof terrain and then take some deep breaths before pulling onto the headwall proper. Once on the headwall make super fun, and at times dynamic, moves on underclings and sidepulls. This section feels reminiscent of Owens River Gorge 5.12 edge pulling, but on granite. And fear not, for if you peel the ride will be airy and clean, so go for it! Once at the obvious rest ledge clip the long draw and head left to the grey mussys on 5.10 terrain.

From here you can continue up the Felix/Styles Extension which goes out the roof on wild moves to a tenuous yet powerful slab. Some kinda spooky moves over a ledge are required to reach the anchor, but the climbing is fun. Probably adds a letter grade. (80M rope required).

Location

This is the route that tackles the beautiful tan headwall left of Master Direct.
