Description

This route Climbs the very far left (east) end of Gecko Wall. P1- Start on easy slab and cracks leading to a deeply varnished and steep corner, climb this to a good belay stance. 5.9 P2- 2 options, up the easy chimney on the right or the 5.9 boulder problem corner to the left, belay on the ledge below many cracks. 5.9 or 5.0 P3- Climb the crack leading straight up to the tombstone shaped chunk of varnish, continue up to a ramp that takes you up and left to a belay. 5.8 P4- 2 options, the left is better and has more solid rock, the right is steeper with more entertaining and exposed movement. The crack on the left looks like a seem, the crack on the right looks like a handcrack. both meet up after about 80 ft. Continue up the easy wide crack to a ledge below an OW. 5.9 P5- Straight up the OW and into the steep looking stembox above, continue up the corner and belay where natural. 5.9 P6- Easy slab brings you to the top out ledge 5.0

Decent- A short easy pitch up one of the cracks above this ledge brings you to the basin where you can either climb siren's arete or walk off to the right.
