Description

Start about 30' right of The Liner, climb up and right to an optional anchor then up the low-angle rock to a big ledge below a headwall. There's a couple lines up the headwall to the top or you can walk off from the big ledge. Depending on the route taken on the headwall, and linked pitches or not, this climb can be 2-4 pitches. Fully bolted. Use the GRB walkoff from the top.

Pitch 1, 5.7, 45', 5b: Climb up 15' and trend right following bolts to a longboard-sized ledge with optional belay at the 6th bolt.

Pitch 2, 5.7+, 90', 8b: Head up the short, shallow crack, then up the slab to anchors on a big ledge below the vertical headwall. There is some soft rock around bolt 7 so climb with care as this cleans up.

Pitches 3/4 go up the headwall, above the big ledge, to the top. Described here is the original line of this route which is left of the anchor. Right of the anchor is the route Cognitive Overload (10b).

Pitch 3, 5.10a/b, 65', 9b: From the anchor on the big ledge, move left and climb up the shallow open-book/corner. At its end, traverse left a few feet and climb through a bulge to better holds above. A tricky/reachy move (crux) gains a skateboard-sized ledge and optional belay at the 10th bolt. Note: Above this point, the large ledge and belayer below are out of sight as the steepness tapers off and rope drag may be an issue.

Pitch 4, 5.6, 60', 3b: A few easy moves lead to low-angle, climb-walking to the top where anchors anxiously await your arrival.Descent: Use the GRB walkoff from the top.
