Description

This route lies just right of Pole Vault, and starts in a shallow, left-facing dihedral. Work up this system for 40 feet on stoppers and TCUs, reaching a very small ledge (good rest) at a solidly attached, but decaying flake. Place a wide piece under the flake, or a few small cams in cracks behind it with long slings, and then follow one of two paths, both 5.10, both S. 1) Go up under the flake and cut left to the arete, breaking out left to the NW face on the arete and eventually up over to the top of Pole Vaulter 2) mantle the flake and continue up the rock as the angle eases to below vertical. Either way, a fall after the flake would not be trivial.Belay up above as for Pole Vault.

Protection

A set of nuts and a set of cams. One large piece could be useful up toward the top.
