Description

Deceptively steep and strenuous. The physical crux comes early, but it's not in the bag until you've mastered the psychological crux at the end.

Watch your rope position as you make the last moves to the chains. It would be easy to step over the rope and end up with the rope behind your leg (bad if you fall). Not a problem if you're mindful.

Best to skip the first bolt by third-classing up easy jugs to the right.

Location

Right side of Pack Rat Cave

Protection

7 bolts (6 clips if you skip the first); lowering hooks at anchor.
