Swollen

Swollen is a second pitch variation to The Big E on enjoyable, well-protected face climbing. No doubt this face has been climbed before but we hadn't heard of it so we'll be presumptuous and give it a name and a rating. Nice jugs and incuts with just enough cracks and pockets for protection with a steep face finish make this very fun.

From the bolted anchor atop P1 of The Big E, step immediately right and go straight up the face between the left-facing corner of The Big E and the right facing corner of Juniper Overhang. About 2/3rds of the way up the angle backs off for a moment but then goes nearly vertical with nice, positive holds and small pro just when you want it. Finish straight up to the bolted anchor on a nice ledge at the top of the cliff.

Small to medium camalots and nuts. I don't use tri-cams but I saw a couple of pockets that would take small to medium sized tris nicely. This face goes straight up to the bolted anchor atop P2 of Juniper Overhang.
